Please say some prayers for us tonight

Well tomorrow is a court hearing for Mac. The judge will deceide whether to let him stay here or let him go to maternal grandmother. I have had him for two years now and he is my life.
He is moderate to severe autistic. He is nonverbal and does lots of things that normal kids don't do. Well the last time the grandmother seen him (December 08) she stated that he just needed a good *butt* whipping!!! At that time he was only 16 months old!
She has stated in the past that she has no problems with lots of whippings and being locked in a room alone.
So I just pray that God is in that court room tomorrow and the judge allows my baby to stay here.
Thanks in advance for the prayers!

Sounds like this gma thinks she can "fix" your FC with old fashion disipline lol boy will she be suprised when she sees that she's bitten off. More than she can chew. If they send him with her give her your number offer to advise/ babysit/ respite whatever she needs chances are if she really is that misguided about his needs she'll give up. not that your FC should move over and over but if she really thinks locking him in his room is going work he would be better off with you for sure good luck !!!

I will pray for Mac to stay with you. I am a foster mom to 4 boys (now pre-adoptive) and the PG wanted to adopt the kids since the bio mom was sure to lose her rights. The bio mom thank God knew she was only doing it for money and got her to admit it infront of the CW so she dropped it. Sometimes biological family is not the right place for a child and I hope the judge sees that. Good luck.
