New Kid on the Block

     Last week we added another kiddo to the crew. He's got sparkling eyes and an infectious grin. Tomorrow he "starts" Kindergarten for the 5th time this school year! 
      I haven't decided on his blog name yet. This child is a smart kid, but it is quite evident that there have been quite a few adults who have let him down, including previous foster families. Hopefully we are a good match for him.

Prepare your surprised face!

Trial for Termination of Parental Rights has been continued/postponed!
We've had Giggles since August 2013. 
In April it was decided that the plan was to terminate parental rights. Because of a massive amount of cases on the court calendar trial was set for August 2014. We've now had a series of events to continue/postpone trial from August to October to November to Jan 2015. And I just received word that it has been continued again, date to be announced. 
We have discovered that in the foster world you can never expect a timeline. Things can move faster or slower, depending on things in the adult world. But, in reality, it won't change much for Giggles. He'll continue to live with the family he knows and follow his normal routine, not even realizing that his life is in limbo.
