Maybe this will happen afterall!

I finally spoke with our CAS case worker on Friday afternoon and she said they (her supervisor and other case workers) strongly considered what I wrote to them last week and agree with many of my points on foster placement. They believe, as we do, that "Sadie" is better off placed with us sooner rather then later. However, they need to check into this whole "Aunt Situation" and see if she is seeking PERMANENT or TEMPORARY custody. If she is only seeking temporary custody (until her brother can get his act together) then the Children's Aid will deny her request and place "Sadie" with us sooner rather then later. If she is in fact seeking PERMANENT custody then they will leave "Sadie" with her foster family until all of this can be resolved.
They hope to hear from the Aunt within the next couple of weeks (God Willing) and then we can move on from there. All we are waiting for is the Aunt to contact CAS and tell them of her intent.

Seems simple doesn't it? NOTHING IS SIMPLE IN THIS CASE.

So we continue to wait... God knows we are good at that!
