We are not foster parents - Adoption.com Forums

DH and I have having been caring for Happy Baby for about 3 weeks and of course have fallen head over heels for the boy!

Tomorrow is his mama's court hearing in which she is facing a year in federal prison. DH & I visited her in jail a few weeks ago; we told her that we are not foster parents and we cannot keep Happy Baby for a year and then gave him back. If his mama wants to work her case plan in order to parent HB that is great but she needs to work with CPS in order to achieve this goal. This means Happy Baby will need to go to licensed foster parents.

We cannot risk the damage it could do to our family if Happy Baby were taken away after a year or more with us especially since he is only 4 months old. That wouldn't be fair to HB either.

HB's mom needs to make the choice either tomorrow or Friday at the latest.

We are at the stage in which we either need to get our lives back to the way it was before HB or get our lives settled with a new baby.

The thought of handing Happy Baby over to anyone is too much to bare. I am sick to my stomach. This is going to break a lot of hearts within the family. My mi-ma is 82 years old and this is her 8th great-grandchild. She has been at my house almost every other day to help me out and cuddle with him.

I just pray that the foster family will be warm and loving like many on these forums!

But honestly, I want his mama to sign over her rights so we can make him a permanent part of the family.
