I wanted to update the blog sooner, but life here has been far from easy! The long baby C is here, the more issues we realize she has. One big issue (along with the FAS) is we think she has what is called RAD, Reactive Attachment Disorder.. This is mostly due to the constant change in caregivers ( foster home, childcare and respite care) along with the maternal use of drugs and alcohol. Joel and I have have done tons of research and just need a doctor's confirmation for our beliefs.. And this is where pure h*ll broke out..
On Monday, Joel called Ontario CPS stating our issues and asking for help. Also, we stated until she is assessed and therapy has begun and true assessments are made, that we would like to remain temp. With this being said, this is what sister in law wanted in the beginning. She is doing a great job and we really don't want to make it harder for her to get back baby C. Anyways, we pretty much got told to make a decision there and then on permanency and if no, they would come and get baby C!! WTF!!!!
So, we got on the phone with everyone and anyone who would listen.. Social workers, lawyers and child advocates.. They all stated this was BS and all we are doing is asking for help and pretty much getting a huge slap in the face! We are just trying to provide for baby C's well being and want to address her issues and ASAP as the longer we go one, the harder it will get. Joel and I in the meantime are doing our own "therapy" at home, but question ourselves at times if what we are doing is benefiting baby C or setting her back..
All week, no call from Ontario, nothing.. After threatening us, no call.. Sister in law spoke with them yesterday and the same person that stated she was coming to get baby C is claiming she no longer stated that!! Errr!
And now, we are in limbo land.. Just waiting, scared to call because we don't want to stir the pot, but really want to know what the heck is going on!! Please, please keep praying for us!
