All I heard that was said in court (from baby's SW'r) is that mom (who is a teenager) deserves to be with her baby. Yes, she was so concerned that she was on the run from police for her entire pregnancy with family members hiding her. she was so concerned that she smoked pot, drank alcohol (and who knows what else, since the blood work is not even back yet).
Like I have said, I am no stranger to this system but I had no idea how little power foster parents have. We take care of these kids day after day and have little or no input as to where they go.
I am emotionally drained and tired, as is my partner. I know we are not likely to give up but oh I don't know, I am rambling now. I suppose it doesn't help that I am alone since she is away on business and friends and relatives don't necessarily understand this, although they try to.
Thanks for reading.
