The babys social worker came today. She thinks it would be a good idea
to go and visit the birth mother. She told me where she was located. I
am going to call in the morning to get visiting information. I would
like to go and see her Sunday.
We discussed the twins a little. There is a small snafu that make make
caring for the twins not happen. Here is the scoop.
If she gives birth in the current hospital she is in, her case will
remain with her current worker. They all know I want to care for her
twins. There is a chance she may be transferred to a new location.
Because of this, she may give birth in a new hospital. This would mean
her case would go to a new DSS office. If it's in an office where
nobody knows the situation, I may not get to care for the twins because
nobody in the office knows me or my intentions.
The babys worker is going to talk to her attorney and guardian. She is
going to tell them if the twins go into state care, I want to take care
of them. Between me and the worker, we are going to make sure enough
people know.
While I am at the visit with the birth mother this weekend, I am sure
she is going to discuss her pregnancy. I am going to tell her that if
her babies get put into care. I will take care of them so they can be
with their sibling. I am also going to tell her she needs to let enough
people know of her wishes. Thats IF she wants me to take care of them.
I cant see any reason why she wouldnt.
I am hoping due to her high risk pregnancy, she wont get transferred
and will stay in her area.
I made a beautifl fleece blankert to bring to the birth mother. I
wanted to bring her something and thought a blanket would offer warmth
and comfort. I am a little nervous about seeing her. I have only known
her while she is on medication. I wonder what she is going to be like
off??
So thats the recent scoop. The next few months I really need to keep on
top of this and remain in some sort of contact with the birth mother. I
am praying her case remains in her area...if it doesnt and it goes to
an office other than mine or hers. I am probably screwed. I dont think
thats fair to these siblings...I am going to do all I can to keep them
