The whiplash effects

(BTW.. this post is old) Today I have to attend a visit with D's birth Mom. She reappeared after 6 months. Went into Rehab and has requested visits and to "work her plan". Is this a last ditch attempt, or is this the beginning of yet another chance for her? The case plan says adoption, but that doesn't mean anything. I have so many hard feelings about this case already. I mean we've already had the "I" situation failure and that should have been a sure thing. Now since the AG mess up we've got to drag even more.
This system is so broken down it's crazy!

Mom spent to whole time tell me about her new round of therapy which is to be in a halfway house for two years...expecting D is wait around for her, just in case she manages to stick to something that long, I mean her other three kids couldn't make her, but hey... they have to give her a chance right, doesn't matter that he'll be 3 and in care since birth!

CPS thinks that because she is not effectively able to recover and parent a child like D that the new judge will do what is best for him. Mediation went no where as expected, since she still blames everyone else for her problems.

In the meantime he is growing and thriving and making awesome strides towards being a toddler.
