K, folks it's getting downright musty in here, time to update and see if we can't liven things up! I have J, my now adopted son. He is ARND, ODD and extremely ADHD. At 4 he is on Clonidine for sleeping and takes a dose in the afternoon or the Daycare would toss him out! A few days before Christmas I closed my license after some mishaps with J and our 1 y/o foster baby. With all of J's issues and starting a new job, I just needed a break. I want to get settled with both of the above and most likely foster again (if DCS will reliciense me . . .) But now is not the time. I do want J to have a sibling in the home though :( I still keep up here and sometimes post if I feel I have something to offer. I also am doing CASA work as a volunteer.

We've been super busy! As of today we have 3 kids in the home; DD - age 7, FS - 16 mos., FD - 6 mos.We've had 4 other kids in the last week alone. So I stay hopping! One of our FKs looks like the case is headed to adoption while the other is just an anything but typical case. Life with the kids is pretty low key with no real visit obligations. Therapy is all we have going for both kids so it's not too hectic today. All that can change tomorrow, right.

Staying busy around too... Our fs was on track to go home, as soon as ICPC paperwork could be done. Indiana was never in favor of moving him, but the receiving state is pushing.As of last week, the receiving state got involved with fs's family (domestic violence) and now plans to move fs home have been placed on hold--- most likely will be thrown out altogether. I am really bummed. Fs's relatives always seem to sabatoge attempts at reunification. This time is the 3rd attempt. No other relatives want him for various reasons. We are NOT open to adopting him. There will be a CFTM on Thursday to discuss options. I have this sinking feeling that we'll get "stuck" with him for a long time. My dh says we won't keep him. THey need to find an adoptive placement or reunify somehow, in the near future, because he's been here too long. I do not understand why families can hold it together long enough (at least) to get their kids back. Why sabatoge themselves at the last minute?? It's maddening. Foster families are left with angry, upset kids and an overdose of bad behavior out of them.
