We are ask that you pray for God's will to be done in the lives of two of our foster children. Towmorrow the county is going to do a staffing and is trying to decide when two of our little ones will be going back home. We have been told that it will probably happen before Thanksgiving. We are extremely worried about this because the children are returning from visits with brusies and other unexplained injury's. This will be the third time that they have tried to send them home in 8 months. Each time they get this close something happens to the kids. The first time the 2 yr. old "fell down " a flight of stairs. He was taken to the emergency room and released. While at the emergency room the CPS checked him out from head to toe. The Birth parents asked the CW if they would still get the kids back for good in three days like planed and the CW said yes. Three hours when we recieved the children back we found an entire black and blue hand print on his back. So then the kids didn't get to go home. Things like this happen every time the kids are ready to be sent home. We are very conserened over the childrens safety if they return. Please pray. thank you.

I will definitely pray. Also, if I were you I would take pictures and keep records of their injuries. Next time there is a court date attend and present these records to the child's attorney. That may help but sad to say the system is run by $ not by the needs of the children. I see every day where children are returned home that shouldn't even be visiting in my opinion. It makes me so mad and I get so discouraged trying to do a good job and protect the kids only to have the court make some ridiculous order. Records do help though.
Keep praying. God is in control.

I will definitely pray for these children. I just don't understand how all this happens. We have been very fortunate and not had the heartbreak of a child going home.

I'd have to figure out some way, any way, to get social services to SEE what is happening to these kids!!!

Good luck to you, you must be so very worried!!

I got the call this morning that the boys are going home on Sunday, unless anything else happens. We have turned in all our documentation including pictures. So it is in God's hands. Other than praying there is nothing else we can do. This has been a emotional rollercoaster for eight months. But that seems to be continuing because we had court for our 1 year old who was also supposed to be pre adopt and now they are working at reunification. I am very frustrated with the system right now. Well we do appreciate all your prayers. Thanks so much.

Well the kids went back today. It hasn't been easy to say the least. But God is in control He got them out of the sitution before He can do it again. Thanks for all your prayers.

I have been praying that these children would not have to return to their biological parents. I cannot believe this situation! You are correct that God is in control. Sometimes, it is very difficult to understand his plan.
I will continue to pray for their safety.
God Bless!
