She disappeared...

That's why they didn't want us to travel. Because she went and held him and then wanted to parent. But was told by CPS that she couldn't parent right now - she had to place or he would go into foster care. So she told our agency that she wanted to go through with the adoption. And then she left the hospital with no contact info, no home, etc.

Since she did sign a form asking our agency to "have control" (can't think of proper words right now) they are going to petititon the courts for guardianship. If granted, he could come home with us while they try to find her.

I am so confused. So sad. So spent.

This is the story of both my daughters. If the mother's didn't choose adoption, the alternative was foster care due to substance abuse. And both M-K and Hanna's birthmom's left the hospital and disappeared. In both cases, the agency was able to take custody right away. With Maire-Kate, the agency was able to track down mom within a few days and met her at a fast food restaurant to have the paperwork signed. With Hanna, Mom was missing for about 6 weeks before they found her and she signed TPR. Hanna stayed in cradle care during that time.

I would definately wait for TPR before traveling. Make sure all the ducks are in a row before making the trip.

THERE ARE EIGHT DIFFERENT WAYS YOUR CHILD CAN DIE ON A CORDED WINDOW TREATMENT
Read "How Safe Cords Kill" at www.pfwbs.org

THREE CHILDREN HAVE STRANGLED TO DEATH SINCE ANGEL DIED ON 8/11/09.
Brandyn Coppedge died on 9/11/09. Rosie Smith died on 9/30/09 and Thapelo Kwofie died on 11/1/09. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is no longer recommending safety kits. They are now recommending that anywhere children live or visit should be free of corded window products.

I agree. Do hang in there. Something very similar happened with us and things did turn out happily.
