Hi ladies,
Here is my story in a nut shell. We have a foster son that is 7 yrs old and has been in fc since he was 8 months. He has been with us for 10 months. We are fost/adopt and he was moved to us because his former foster mom told the court at the .26 hearing LAST OCT. that she did not want to adopt. That is how he came to us.
The .26 hearing has been on the books for at least 1 yr. We have have postponements since April of this year. His bm got a new court appointed lawyer that is trowing everything at the wall to over turn this case.
RU was terminated in 2010. She did have 2times a week visits with him until he came to live with us and then the court granted them to be cut to 2 times a month with out us ever going to court.
The judge has said that he wants him to be adopted but that there is a due process that has to happen. We did a bonding assessment in Aug and it finally came back and it says that we are what is best for him and adoption is the best choice.
So, we are going to court on the 22 of Oct and we just found out that they having questions about the bonding assessment. I guess that we all have to be ready to go on the stand and explain all of our life choices etc.
Oh and his mom just had a baby in June and they are not detaining the baby because her new boyfriend is a non offender. Our foster son was taken into care because her parents are the abusers. We were also told that because if that she might be able to get him back although she does still have a relation ship with them.
I guess my question is: should we be worried or is this all common since we are in the TPR stage now?
Any help would be great!
Sorry so long.
Allie
