A Court Hearing on Tuesday

We had a "surprise" visit Friday morning from our caseworker (meaning the one for my husband and I). Well, hello! I'm glad that all of us were dressed and ready and had eaten breakfast, and that the house still looked passable, because it was just before 9:00 a.m.!

We had a normal chat about how the girls are doing, but nothing new and earth-shattering had happened recently because she had been here on Wednesday to speak with us, along with the twins' caseworker about the whole placement situation.

She let me know that the biological family scheduled a hearing for Tuesday to request unsupervised weekend visits. This doesn't seem like a real possibility; in fact, we've never had unsupervised visits happen with our foster kids, except for one or two the week Spunky Girl was transitioning to returning back to her biological parents. It seems like this would/should be something that happens when the case is heading towards reconciliation.

To add to this, the caseworker told me that a new investigation found more evidence to support that negative things were happening in the home before the children were removed, which would strengthen the case to terminate rights.

So, again, God only knows where this train is taking us - we're just hanging on for the ride! We'll hear something Tuesday. God bless!
