The day the baby was born we got a phone call, informing us that the birth mother didn’t voluntarily give the baby up. Some people said she was mad because she wasn’t out of jail and she was using the baby, others said she wanted to keep the baby… there’s a problem though… she is in jail and cannot keep the baby. The state took the baby and put him in a temporary foster home.
We were instructed to become certified foster parents so that the baby could be placed with us. Now that the birth mother didn’t willingly give the baby up we had to go through the state. We already haD a home study, our background checks done, and a lawyer but apparently the state has a lot more red tape we have to go through. Private adoptions are a lot less complicated.
So... we took foster parent classes, became CPR certified, had additional background checks done (digital finger prints) and after all that… NOTHING HAPPENED.
The baby’s case work and boss informed us that we needed to be patient. Her boss even went and talked to the birth mother in jail and asked what she wanted to done with the baby and she told him she wanted to the baby to be with us. He told us this was positive and that there were some additional approvals we had to go through…PATIENCE is a Virtue….
