WE just received this from our CAS adoption worker today - its not much, but better then not hearing anything at all I suppose. I don't know what to think - but there is a good possibility things might not turn out for us after all...
"just to let you know that my supervisor just had a long conversation with
Birthfather's sister today. She seemed to be unaware of the need for a
permanent plan for "Sadie" when given that information. She stated that her
plan really was to help her brother until he got things together and that
this changed things, in terms of permanent plans for "Sadie". The Aunt was
also informed about the steps that she would need to go through in order to
proceed with training, and a homestudy, should she want to be considered to
adopt "Sadie". They had a detailed conversation and at the end of it, it was
decided that The Aunt needed to talk with her brother again. She stated that
she will be moving soon (but gave a cell number) and that she would be able to
call my supervisor back next week, with an answer as to whether or not her
plan would be permanent or not. So, that is the next step.... My Supervisor will call
The Aunt again if she has not heard from her by mid week.
So, next week? check in with me by Thursday ok? Hang in there"
I fear we are spinning our wheels here and we may never see a light at the end of this long and dark tunnel.
I just feel defeated and hopeless. I guess I am just having a bad day / week/ year!

Maybe the Aunt is thinking about changing her mind?? The family doesn't seem that committed to the process, maybe the training, home study etc. has scared her off??
Oh. I feel for you, I really do. I wish I could say something to brighten your mood, but I don't think there are any appropriate words of comfort. Look forward to a new year and a fresh start, maybe 2009 is the year for you and Paul. You're always in my thoughts.

I have to somewhat agree with Brenda. Sounds like this could be more than the aunt wants to bite off and chew. Having said that there is nothing you can do except sit and wait somemore. It is so unjust for both you and Paul and for Sadie as well.
Reading this again it is clear to me that there is no communication between sister and brother which could be a clear indication that the father is being less than honest about his intentions to adopt. Sounds like he is grasping at straws and stalling for time for no good reason whatsoever!
