Red File Staffing

Is today at 130p. My adoptions worker has to go there and present to a panel why we would make the best adoptive family for this little girl. Apparently this time there will even be a lawyer representing the mother. Maybe that means this was only a legal risk and she was not already severed? Who knows, they don't really tell you much. As a matter of fact we haven't even seen a picture of her yet. Hopefully if chosen we'll get to see one later today.

Tomorrow is still court for "I". It's a split session. Which means it's from 830am to 930am then from 10am to 11am. Really not sure why, as I have never been to one of these before. I hope that they can present everything in the first session and she'll make her decision by the second and just rule and this can be finished either way.


*** Update- Court did not go well... we have some thinking to do... because ultimately, since the GAL seems against the change of placement... we won't win.***

There was no need for this to turn into a custody battle, none at all and it's beyond frustrating that it has come to this. I refuse to compete in a she said/she did slander battle. It is what it is and if she'd been on the up and up the whole time it would never have come to this to begin with. It's what happens when you make this all about money and NOT about the child.
