Moving Forward Finally!

I got the experience of going to my first court day as a Foster Parent today! I got to witness a trial actually, it was interesting at the least! We had to wait from 8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. to get called in, even had a break for lunch for an hour in there too, it was such a long wait to go in for basically 30 min! Gosh! Thank goodness I/we have the best Social Worker around and she was by my side the whole time because there are some sketchy people around that place, man oh man! :(~
Not only that but at one point poor her and I where in between birth father to baby girl and birth mother to both of the girls and there is major issues between the two, it was an awkward moment I would say! LOL
We also had to endure their birth mother for most of the day as well, as she jibber jabbered to us non stop, haha, I am around this woman a lot so I can laugh about this, I have really gotten to know a lot about this woman, man oh man, too much I would say, wow! She and I are very civil and I sure hope it stays that way, I do believe she loves her daughters a lot but she is a true mess and she loves her drugs way more and cannot get clean and healthy! She knows her girls are safe and loved and I enforce that to her all the time!
Baby girl's birth father is an interesting guy, in a very sketchy way I will say, was not to happy to have to meet him but I will have to be seeing him for visits now so it had to happen at some point! These birth parents need to get help, they are a mess and have a long history of drugs, domestic violence and criminal backgrounds, it is really sad! Thank goodness right now all 3 girls are in safe, happy and loving homes and lets hope it stays that way!
Todays court was to finally get passed  the birth parents and why their kids were removed or placed in care! Had to go to trial over this but at least we can move forward now, judge said charges were reasonable and for the right reasons and we now move forward to the Deposition next month, this will actually give a sentence on what they feel should happen with the girls, we are praying of course "Adoption"! It's already been referred so lets keep going in that direction, yes! The chances of these birth parents ever getting their acts together, getting jobs, getting clean and staying clean or even having decent homes to love and provided for their babies, is very rare!
I could not wait to get home to the girls today, I felt as if I was at work all day, I missed them lots, specially poor Sissy being sick! :(
Today also marks 8 weeks we have had the girls! As the weeks go by and months add on it is only in our favor and so very positive for us! :0)))
