We had another court date today. It got a little tense during the middle. The State, which is CPS, stated that they would like a concurrent plan, that means 2 plans at once, one to reunify the family, and one to severe and adopt. At first, the children's attorney concurred, but then he changed his recomendation to severance and adoption, stating that the CASA would have more to say. Mother's attorney stated that she is complying with the case plan. Father's attorney requested a Supplemental Permanency Hearing since Father is incarcerated until Thanksgiving. CASA then stated that MrBrawn has an unusual fetish with his penis and recommends the services of a Master Counselor. At that point we had some discussion about the behaviors and I informed the judge about the doctor appointment a few weeks back and what had occurred. Infant and Child Development Department brought to attention that MrMonkey is already 2 years old so we need to make a final decision soon according to law. There will be a trial for the parents of the other child in this case, who does not live with us, the beginning of November. We go back to court on November 30th, exactly one year after placement.
At that point, MrMonkey will have lived with us for 44% of his life! MrBrawn will have been with us for 21% of his life. 21% of my life, would be nearly 7 years! This can not be healthy for these babies.
As we've said each time, we'll just keep loving them and giving them a good foundation, and see what happens.
