No News for Girlie

Still no word on Girlie. That makes me think that the regional director has gotten involved and sees that that family isn't going to work out. I hope so, but have no way of knowing. The cw had called Thursday about setting up a visit and has not done that, so I'm thinking they are shifting focus??? We're only here for the four working days this next week, then we leave for FL on the 2nd. We won't be back until the 22nd, and then that leaves the last week of June for her to transition somewhere before she leaves July 1st or 2nd. The only way that could change was if they allowed her to stay with me until we leave on our Niagra trip which I think is around July 17??? but also allow me to transition to my new agency. I am not staying with this agency any longer than absolutely necessary, but want to do what's right for Girlie also.

In other news, Liam has an ACR (a case review) on June 4. His court date is June 24 and at that time they should be setting dates for termination since his case has passed legal screening. Previously, in case you don't know or remember, they (my lovely agency) had talked about allowing Grandma (who lives in AL, has his older bio brother, has only been here to see him two times for an hour each the entire 19 months I've had him, and when she does visit him she sits in a chair and doesn't interact with him) to take him upon termination. Here are the posts on what happened with that: Liam 1 Liam 2

So, in wondering whether I needed to postpone our FL trip one day and go to the ACR, I asked the cw. I mostly want to know if the agency is still following what they told me was "in writing" with not trying to go toward g'ma, but back me keeping him as a permanent placement. I just know God has placed him here forever, but know too that there are still things we sometimes need to do to be sure that happens. So I asked her. She said she thought so, but would ask the supervisor and get back to me. That was earlier this week. I called Thursday and left a message asking again. Still haven't heard a word. I know that I can appeal the decision if it is indeed made to try to move him, and that I will most likely win as he's been here so long, but I shouldn't have to do that. They told me they were keeping him here. BUT, I don't TRUST them! :(

We could use a few prayers. :)

What you should know about HIV

-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles). - HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives. - People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do. Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know

Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong

Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow

Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom

But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
