Foster Care Update...........

One miracle has already taken place for this little guy. Extended family was looking into getting him and working on background checks and we were just waiting to hear back about it but it was taking forever. So in the mean time back in May we had a special family fast that everything would work, according to Heavenly Father's will, if Luther could stay in our family and be safe and happy. So the caseworker came by later in the month for her monthly visit and said that they finally got things back but the family never followed up on any paperwork and things just kinda fell through. I just got a big smile on my face. A prayer was answered! The caseworker said she knew I would be happy to hear that.

 So it's been a waiting game with this little guy but we are still hopeful! Everybody asks us is it looking like adoption?? The caseworker says that's where it is headed.......but we just don't want to get our hopes up......we have heard to many horror stories. But his biological parents have both finally gone through their pre-trials after a few missteps because of lawyers and paperwork etc., etc. So we finally have a date for trial which will terminal the parents rights on June29th. Both lawyers are trying to get them to give up their rights before trial but we will see if that happens. Usually a trial means the state has enough solid evidence against the parents for their rights to be terminated and the caseworker keeps telling us that we shouldn't have anything to worry about. The judge has the final say. He could give the parents another chance, its happened before....so that's why you don't get your hopes to high. But good things have happened already and we keep holding on to hope and keep praying! Things have been falling into place so far so we just have to wait and see!
