uncertainty stinks

So, our fds have been in care for a year come december. child protective services is going to change the plan for their permenancy to 'adoption by non relatives'. we'll have to see if the judge will approve it or not. I'm very worrried about it. The mom's psych said 'even though the children aren't well bonded, reunification is recommended.' the children's therapist isn't recommending that though. She wants them to have permenancy NOW, not in another six to twelve months it will take mom to work the case plan. i'm highly stressed just wondering what will happen.

Hopefully the judge will do what is in the best interests of the children.

Uncertainty does stink! It's tough not knowing what will happen and even when you think you know . . . you really don't know how these cases will turn out. Anything can change on a dime. It's frustrating for all involved, especially the children. Hang in there! We are here for you.

When is the next court date?

It is so tough. Hold on and you will get through it. The judge will hopefully see through all the wishy washy. Our pysc eval stated about the same for both parents though also mentioned that they were capable of learning proper care just not following through and caring into the next day, week or year. They would learn something on tues. and forget it by thurs. But if prompted would remember.

In situations like these I find it hard because as a human you want to give everyone as many chances as you can BUT what harm does those chances cost? I know that we would have had many more issues if ours had dwindled out any longer then it did. (1yr with us 6 m)

I pray that the judge will rule in the best interest of the child and realize that the children are still developing and can't just sit back and wait for someone to get their act together.
