The BF in out foster-daughter's case has had rights terminated on two other children. He went to court Thursday and cliamed (I'm still baffled) that they have him confused with someone else and that he has no other biological children. Could this be possible? Wouldn't this information be backed up with social security numbers and that sort of thing? The judge ordered the Dependency Investigator to check it out. Huh? Has anyone heard anything like this?

BP's are scheduled to be in court on May 9th. Until then, I feel like I am in the dark. BD has not come for the last 6 visits. The **, on the other hand, is suddenly trying to win the mother of the year award. This a roller coaster that I'm not sure I have the stomach for - I'll keep you posted - thanks for asking!
Oh - the mess! So, as it turns out my SW misunderstood the bio-father's claims - he does have two other bio kids that he agrees are his - what he claimed was that he wasn't made aware that his rights were being terminated and his kids were being adopted by non-family members. The judge ordered for the county to find reports on due diligence. I am, as usual, shocked by the miscommunication that goes on between the 100 people that seem to be involved in the case. On a good note, mom and dad haven't shown up for the last three visits. The roller coaster ride continues......

Good news that I wanted to share....the judge terminated reunification services for both parents. I know that the bps can appeal this decision but for right now I want to feel happy that a judge saw the writing on the wall and thought of the child's best interest. I am sad for the bps at the same time. They are very supportive of me caring for their daughter and I hope that doesn't change. As a mother, I can't imagine having someone tell me that there is a possibility that I will not see my child again. I saw them a few days after the hearing and they were very teary eyed. This was after missing a visit the day after the hearing but...... A mixed bag of emotion but mostly relief (at least for now)! Thanks everyone for your support and encouragement - this really is an emotional roller coaster and it helps to share with people who are in it. Have a beautiful day.
