Z...the disappointing saga will continue 6 more months...

January 11th, 2013 at 05:57 am

I cant get my profile picture to update. Not sure why, but Ive tried several times in the past year or so and always get the same pic, no matter what I upload. Nate? Jeff?

DD2 heard from the case worker tonight about Z. Unfortunately, this is a new lady who just got the case about two weeks ago. :/ Her decision is to give 'mom' six more months to get it together. I hope she does...but lil Z will be 2 1/2 by then and has no idea who this 'mom' is. She is rehabilitating in another state..so she wont see him until closer to the next court date. My poor daughter is so frustrated, knowing she and her own children will have six more months to continue bonding with Z...and that he still may be moved out of the house. sigh. Such a broken system...the prior case worker was 100% on board with placing Z permanently, she knew the case inside and out...but she got promoted and relocated..so now it is in the hands of the new case worker. DD2 is more discouraged than ever tonight.

DD3 is getting her first paycheck tomorrow for her Alaska job. It is $687 for 4 days....from now on paychecks will be for 7 days. SHe was pleased to learn how much she had earned. Smile

Will update on the hubs check and budget tomorrow. Too pooped tonight.

    Yes, the system does seem to be broken. So sorry that there is a delay.

    It's a shame that the old caseworker moved in without leaving her recommendation, etc behind.

    The system sure does stink sometimes....I hope and pray this will all work out in your family's best interest.

    Thank God they are giving this little guy such a good start in life. Even if he is heart-breakingly put back with the woman who gave birth to him, he will already have been filled up with the kind of love and security that is absolutely essential to a young human being. Your family will always be able to hang on to that certainty.

    Thanks all-

    mjrube- the prior caseworker did. but the new one is having to sift through everything and the file is huge on this lil guy.

    JoA- we do have that certainty- I dont want to sound like I am anti family, because the opposite is true..until families stretch out rehabilitating so long and fail so many times that it impacts the little ones as deeply as this one will be. A lot can happen in six months. My prayer is that the momma cleans herself up and then the court makes the best decisions for the kids.

    DD3 paycheck is awesome! Plus, there can't be much chance to spend much up there. Right?
