So what has changed? Not much again. So continues as before with a slow increase over the next month or two of transition visits. The lawyer requested an immediate placement hearing and was given 10/22! WTF? So anyway, we are hoping that they will be able to transition without issues by our 9/30 plan and make the transition complete after their fall break. I think it will work from there.
I made all of the doctor and dentist appointments for next month. Hoping that the parents will be able to attend and provide transport from the appointments to school those days.
I reviewed the psych evals and well, nothing was unexpected and nothing was noted that I had not already told them I had witnessed. Older was dx'd with a Pervasive Developmental Disorder but not specifically given the Autistic designation because her symptoms could be the result of her neglected hearing impairment and the resulting alternative adaptation processes. So until they can fix her communication difficulties they really won't know if the rest of the symptoms are on the spectrum still.
So all in all more days away from us and with the parents but not a full on transition home yet. But there is an end in sight.
I emailed the adoptions worker to see where that would place us on bringing our little one home, since we currently are only licensed for 3. Perhaps they can change it to 4? It's been known to happen. ***Her response was that they are also requesting a slow transition. Add that to the 6 months after placement for any other placements... and well... we may have to make some tough decisions. However, if their slow transition takes places during the slow transitions for the girls well it will equal out and as 1 set leaves, the other comes home****
I do still reserve the right to change my mind a million times over this process!
