two part post GAL & placement

My 23 month old FS GAL came over today and stayed for 10 min. The last time she stayed for maybe 20 min.Then she tells me she is going to attend hte next visitation where she will observe the bmom for 1 hour 30 min.How can she make agood determination of what our realtionship is like with our son?? How can she go into a court and say what she thinks is best for him??

I guess I am just worried that she will say he should go back to bmom when I drop him off for visitation he will just sit with me until he see his bmom bag of cookies/candies etc.She nevers hold him etc.We love this little guy so much and have been asked by more than one person IF there was a TPR would we want to adopt and of course our answer is YES!!!!!!!!!!!

What is your take on GAL's?



Second we got a 1 yo on Thursday last week poor baby had scabies so bad sores all over his legs anyway he has 2 older sisters they would like us to take and mom is due any day so that would be 8 children (3 bios age 17,13,12) The girls are 6 1/2 and 2 so we would have a 17,13,12,6,2 1/2,2,1,newborn !!! I know it is crazy.I just do not want to endanger our chance of adopting our little J.
I know I can handle that many( I have had a home day care) that is not a question.I guess I am just wanting some input.

Thanks I hope this make some kind of sense to someone!! haha.
