and she is back.

As soon as we think that we can exhale... birth mom comes back. She waves and bam.. visits start.  She has gone on two so far. They are once a week for two hours at a time- of course they are "fully supervised".  The caseworker claimed that both times the "visit went well"... and then goes on to say that birth mom was on the phone the whole time asking family members to come over and see the baby- or talking with her boyfriend about godonlyknowswhat.  So. Yeah. Way to parent-- IN FRONT OF A CASE WORKER AND PARENT AIDE.

All I can do is shake my head and pray to God.

My guess is that she will take off again. She has to. I cannot handle the opposite.

We also got a call for another baby over the last week .. he was a little 4 month old Caucasian peanut. After thinking long and hard about it, we declined placement. The situation just wasn't right for our family and taking on the health concerns may have put me completely over the edge. It was a hard decision to come to but it is for the best.

We started getting some photos back from the wedding... here are a couple... I wish I could go back to that day :)

Happily married

Also- my mom is in the hospital. She fell the Monday after the wedding. Prayers her way, please.
