Well we finally heard back from our lawyer and he was LESS then helpful. He was downright discouraging and told us perhaps we should just forget about this one. Told us to "Keep all our irons in the fire should this not pan out for us". Gee Thanks!!! Don't forget to send us a bill for that stellar advice!!!
So after getting the "great" advice from our Lawyer we were feeling defeated as usual...then we got an email from our CAS worker... it went something like this:
"Hi Meagan & Paul,
I hope that you are still hanging in there through thisdifficult and very frustrating process. I wanted to let you know that we have made some progress and hope to have some more answers by the end of the month. Birthmother has until Nov 28th to file and answer with the courts (as to herplan for "Sadie") and we have to wait that out... The family service worker obtained the consents from Birthdad to speak with his sister and determine her plan. The FSW called her Tuesday and spoke to Birthdad as he answered the phone. She asked that Aunty-Smokes-A-Lot call her back, which she has not done as of the end of the day today. Worker is not in the office on Friday, but will call again Monday and talk wtih her then. Then the determination needs to be made as to whether this is a permanent or temporary plan. The agency is obligated to assess the plan either way, but it makes a difference as to how things proceed. I have let the workers know that you are still willing to foster "Sadie", and take the risk of losing her. Please check in with me again after Nov 28th and I hope to have a bitmore info at that point. The child service worker and I are advocating for "Sadie" to be in a more permanent home with you, rather than a temporary one. We will talk soon."

too bad about the modern day heros .......... Money Eaters!! I hope that all works out soon. Did you ask CAS why they haven't done the extra things that were mentioned by the instructor in your class the other night?
XO - Love Me
CAS just sent us the forms we need to get our homestudy updated on Friday - so we have the ball rolling on that one. So it should all fall into place soon - GOD WILLING!
Meags, sounds like the lawyer is still working on your behalves and therefore you could potentially be getting stuck with another bill. Did you tell him to put this aside for now and that you would be working with CAS yourselves?
