Judge Ordered Change Of Goal

I had court for my now 10 month old fd. whom I brought home from the hospital, bio only came one time to visit child back in october and was under some kinda influence sent to take drug test and left never returned. @ court yesterday cw turns in report with goal as return to parent although its a concurrent plan. going back a little bio has 4 other children older 16,14,10,6 who have been in care for 4 years. their goal was changed yesterday to adoption after four yrs. judge asks me if I have anything I would like to say. Bio not present of course bearing no word from her since oct the other kids different agency havent heard from her since jan 05. so I stand up and I state yes there is I first want to let the court know that I will respect its ruling but in light of the facts and the past record I don't understand why my fd goal has also not been changed to adoption. shes 10 months old has only seen mom 1 time @ 3months old there is no bond there. mom although she knows where child is has not contacted agency in 7 months which in itself is grounds for abandonment. I love my fd and want only whats best for her and would not like to keep her in this system as a fosterchild for the next four years. I think she deserves a life filled wif love and permancy, im dedicated to giving her that life if the court finds that she should not return to bio in light of the facts presented today. I offer pictures of the child with my other kids with myself and my varius family members also a family memorial t-shirt n which we name the lost family members and the new family members every year in which my fd name was added for this memorial day, judge thanks me and asks cw and attny for the caseworker the reason why my fd goal was not changed cw states we intend to change goal once this child has been in care 18 months. judge sarcasitically states o really well im bringing this matter back on june 20 and by that time I want a goal change for babygirl (myfd) and tpr filed for all 5 of the children I will not hold this child who is obviously loved by her family in care for another 8 months just to keep up with your time frame and I will suggest you read up on your handbook or mayb MS J (me) can update you on the law as its stated in the handbook. Ms.J I would like to once again thank you for loving and providing excellent care for babygirl B, i look forward to doing your adoption. (judge was the same judge on 2 of my other kids):cheer: so im thrilled that my fd will not have to stay in care longer just cus the agency would rather keep her as a fk then do what is best for this child. yaaay for the judge.
