I have waited to post but I still don't know where to begin... You know we set out to foster to make a difference and hope that some day we would have the opportunity to Adopt. We have had children come and children go. And we knew that would be the case. It has never been easy. And we never thought it would be. But I never imagined it would be like this. It is as if this is all just a bad dream. Surely this can not be happening.
When we arrived at court there was suppose to be a hearing for the petition to terminate parental rights. But in a strange turn of events it was announced that there was good news. After nearly 2 years. The child's birth mother has now completed her case plan and is ready to request to have her son reunified with her. This was news to us because just last month the department made it very clear that they had determined the child's best interests were served by Termination and Adoption.
Because I know all the details of the case (That I desperately wish I could shout to the world the injustice of it all) .. I am outraged and confused.
So after raising this sweet baby boy from birth... after being the only family he has truly ever know. I will shortly be ordered to turn him over to people he is barely acquainted with.
