Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Thanks Mojo and yes, it is hard to let go when it's time. Our little Amir who went with his grandmother was a little easier because she is a wonderful lady and we don't have to worry about if he is safe or not. Our Josh on the other hand that is 22 months old and we have had since he was seven months might be given back to his dad in August. This man has 12 substantiated abuse claims on his four older children, all of which were then adopted one at a time. All of them were right around two years old when he lost it on them. He has had two dirty drug tests just last month, Josh has no idea who he is and because of the severe neglect in early infancy has bonding issues. Even though child services knows that it would damage him to take him away from the only family that he knows, their hands are tied by the fathers rights. We also have a court date on baby Keyone and Freddie in June and they were supposed to be adopted back in October but one delay after another and we now have had them nearly two years. If one of these three kids leaves I will fall apart. I just don't know how we could hand them over knowing that they would be in great danger. I just would not have a reason to get out of bed each day if it weren't for my babies. We aren't anything special at all, we just wanted to be someone's parents so badly and this has worked out just great. Our oldest son is almost done with his first year of high school and our oldest daughter is on student council and band and has lots of friends. Both of these kids were listed "unadoptable" and they are awesome kids. Oops, sorry, I didn't mean to write a book, lol How are you? a C Whether because they were sick, or because it would just break my heart to have to return them to their family, without knowing whether their parents will live up to their end of the deal.
