Court is Wednesday at 2 pm. I had intended on going, I really thought that I needed to hear it with my own ears especially if they decide to send her home, but I forgot that Lizzy has her visits all scheduled for that time this week and I didn't put that together until this evening. So, I could consider canceling her visits but after discussing it with my husband we decided that what ever is going to happen will happen with or without me there.
I can't say I disagree with any of you, I wish I could go to every single hearing but in this state you cannot take the/any kids to the hearing if you want to sit in the hearing when it is volatile like this case is and they are so far away, Sabrina's is a little more than an hour away from where I live, it makes it very hard to go when I have other children.
I would have had to find someone to take care of Lizzy's visits, someone to pick up my 8 yr old from school, and someone else to watch Sabrina because there is no way I would take her with me and have them have me hand her over right then and there.
I hope it doesn't sound like a bunch of excuses from a foster mom that doesn't care, it just really is THAT hard to even try to go.

I know its not excuses it really is hard to juggle your own children and all the visits and hearing that come with foster kids.
Praying things go well for Sabrina and your family tomorrow!
I'm all over the map trying to keep up with the necessary appointments for my five kids. It's definitely not an excuse.
I'm praying for you!!!
Praying hard today...
i know it is not an excuse either. we were always advised not to come to those hearings. it is not a matter of you vs. bio parents, it is a matter of whether or not it is in the best interest of the child to be returned. the court KNOWS you are an amazing parent to her. we are all praying. this situation is so close to my heart. you are on my mind and sweet little "S". i am praying she stays with you forever, because i truely believe that would be best for her. praying... praying... praying that she will be rescued and never go back to such a horrible un-safe place. praying she will never be harmed again.
Praying now. Please let us know.
is there any update yet? i'm not sure what your time zone is, but just checking in and letting you know me and the boys prayed for you today!
Hope all goes well!
I felt weird not going to hearings also, like it showed a lack of dedication. But in reality they know that you are taking care of the child which shows your dedication!
