It’s been a minute!!

I haven’t written anything in a minute. Again, not how Il planned for this blogging experience to go.

I’ve been exhausted. Mentally and physically exhausted. I haven’t been sleeping well. Not quote sure why, could be nothing could be that I have a lot on my mind.

We have a 4 month infant not gaining wait, there is a procedure that needs to be done and we can’t get it because of the lack of their parent being absent to sign for it. We have to wait to see if the courts will allow DHHS to sign. That could take a minute. Meanwhile we have appointments almost weekly for thrm, weight checks, tests, more weight checks, tests, it’s never ending, all the while this one very small procedure would fix the whole issue. It will take literally 5 minutes to do.

We are in the middle of an competing party adoption, the ICPC and family assessment are taking FOREVER!!! It’s hard watching a child need permanacy and seeing there is now guidelines that say, it HAS to be done in this time frame or you forfeit your right to adoption.

We are waiting on a TPR for our oldest. Tons of issues on Legal/Bio parent. One parents rights have been terminated for almost a yeR now, the other, no one can get it right, wrong wording in several petitions, no one served properly, bio parent isn’t legal parent the list goes on. All this child wants is for adoption to happen and life to feel more normal. Normalcy is what we are supposed to be striving for, right.

So I’m tired. Waiting is draining. And I just want these little humans to actually be first for a change. I just want best interest to really happen for them. I want it to start being about the little humans who so desperately want a normal life actually get that.

Have I mentioned before…..

POLOCIES NEED TO CHANGE.
