Im in heaven, tired, but in heaven. They are wonderful. Im soo proud of my 3 yr old fs, he was sooo sweet and caring making sure that the 2 yr old felt welcome (I wonder how long that will last ) I is very shy and she cried for a little while, but J (my fs) kept making her laugh, he such a little clown. She can talk pretty good in english and spanish and she is soooo smart. In five minutes she memorized J's name and the two dogs name. She also calls me Momma couse J calls me that and she called my mom grandma. She is very sweet, but of course once she feels confy I know she will give us her other side of herself.

The baby is sooo quite. You never know she is here. She only cried once and it was couse she was hungry. I cant seem to put her down. I love how she snuggles. She is soooo tiny. Im already inlove with both girls. Im in heaven.

Hooray! I'm so glad you're having a nice time with the girls. Your fson sounds like such a sweet, compassionate little guy. I know you will be one busy mama, but I look forward to hearing how you and the babies are doing.

The girls are wonderful. The baby is now 1 month old and is growing sooo fast. She smiles when you talk to her and yesterday actually laughed when I sang to her. the two yr old feels more at home. She looks soo happy. Her personality came out. She is still mellow, but now gets in time out a couple of times. Normal two yr old behavior.

Well I recieved some news. I guess a great-grandmother that failed her first homestudy wants the girls badly. She failed couse she had a relative living with her with bad history. She said that the relative will move out next week so she can take the girls. The Gal wants the girls to go there, but SW does not. The great-grandma still belives her grand daughter ( the girls **) is not using drugs even though they have proof that she has used in the last 90 days. The sw is concerned that they will let the mother and father come see the girls. Plus they are in mid 60s and SW believes that TPR is most likely so she is not sure they can raise a child for 18 years. She is also concerned for the baby. They never did drug test on her couse the mother denied using while pregnancy. The hospital does not drug test babies unless mothers admit to use. But the doctor, Sw, and I have seen symptoms. She gets tremors and has jerky movement. She sneezes a lot and cries a lot. So the SW is not sure great grandparents can handle drug exposed baby.

There is court next week. The Gal is going to ask for the girls to be placed with family and the Sw is asking for them to stay with us a legal risk home. She warned me that its all up to the Judge and I might lose the girls next week. Im a little angry at the gal. She has never called us or talk to us. She never got the chance to meet us and see how well the girls are doing in our home. I feel that if she met us she might see that the girls would have a safe and loving home. Im sooo torn. I mean its nice that they could go with family, but the whole family is in drugs, including the grandmother of the girls. What if they get exposed to that. I want them to be safe and I know they are safe with me. I already love these girls. They fit soo well with us. God Im sooo scared to lose them. Please pray for us and for these girls to stay safe.

Most of us have been there. Hope your case ends differently than the usual.

I wonder if the great-grandmother would withdraw her request if she could be guaranteed continued visitation with the kids?

Well the girls are still here. It turns out that the great grandmothers relative can't move out for another 2 or 3 weeks. The sw said that she found out that the great grandmother has a grand child with dissability living with her. So having a baby drug exposed and that cries most of the night might be to hard for her, but at least she has experience. So we are back to 50/50 chance. Im just loving them and not thinking to much ahead. I will enjoy them everyday. If its only for a few more weeks, I will be happy knowing them and being part of their lives. If they stay for ever well Ill be very very very happy . Please keep praying for us and for the girls.

I know how hard it is to have to wait to find out about family situations and how you try to protect your heart but can't help falling in love with the children.
I am praying that these children will have the safe loving home they deserve with you.
Good luck and God's speed on the court system.

Thank you all for your support. Well the girls have left about three weeks ago. I was sooo sad couse I fell instantly inlove with them. They have gone with their great grandparents. They have called me and let me know how they were doing. They seem like they are doing well.

I have now another little girl legal risk. She is 4 and has been with me for a week. She is a pretty good girl, she has her issues since she has been moved a lot and has lost three sibs in those moves, but nothing we cant handle. She is legal risk and the sw and gal are asking for tpr on Nov, the case will be opened for a year then. The good news is that we are getting her 1 yr old sister on fri. We plan to adopt both girls. The oldest is with her b-father and the baby is at another legal risk home since birth. I let sw know that if for some reason that legal risk home does not work out that we would be happy to have her also.
