Meeting One Month Before Hearing
At exactly one month before the Placement Hearing, CPS, CASA and the baby's parents had a meeting. This meeting took place at the parent's house. The meeting was to discuss any progress in their part. CPS did some investigation about the status of the dad's work and apparently he has missed 12 days of work and he started this job about one month ago or maybe a little less than that. CPS investigated the real reason of the mother hurting her arm and found out something completely different to what she had said earlier in her report. In other words they haven't complete the case plan and they still have a lot to do before any progress is considered from their part. We are trying to keep contact with the parents; but they don't have a phone and when we leave messages with the grandma, they never get the messages. My husband is planning a trip over there to sit down and talk sense into the parents about the right thing to do before it is too late. We are looking for the best thing for the baby. We want to keep her within family and we have told the parents that we are never going to cut communication between the baby and them. But the time is almost up and they have to decide what they really want to do; because the baby is already attached to her foster mom and if they don't act now, It will be harder at the end. We have been very busy making sure everything is ready before the court day. We are dealing with four different agencies right now. A lot of paper work, a lot of classes a lot of phone calls to make. Now, all we can do is pray and wait....
