overwhelmed

today ( by today, I mean yesterday.) Petunia's GAL came over for a visit. She told me her parents are going to try to do what they can to get her back.  Without telling you her story, trust me when I say this is insane and there needs to be foster care reform NOW! She told me visits will be starting soon.  I got really emotional.  She went on to say she is 95% certain we will be able to adopt her.  If you recall, I was told by the county there was a 100% chance we would be able to adopt Sweet Potato. We LOVE Petunia and are so happy to have her in our home. But we were told this is an adoption case and there would be no visits when we were matched with her.  I hate to say it, but we wouldn't have said yes if it were any other way. 

So, I called our adoption agency and told them to put us back in the stack.  I doubt anyone will pick us since we have two girls of our own and 1 baby in the house.  I also am a huge advocate of not rehoming foster kids. So of course saying Petunia has to go is NOT an option. 

This is the pits.

On a lighter note, our old foster social worker came over to update our homestudy and before I had a chance to see, guessed she was engaged. Half of her visit involved  looking at local wedding venues and the best wedding website...EVER. I really wish she was still our worker.  Petunia's new worker hasn't really opened up to me.  Since I wear my heart on my sleeve I do best with other people that do the same.
