We have had a VERY stressful time lately. I didn't want to go into things the other day as I was feeling quite low and emotional about the whole ordeal... We went into Court on monday morning, regarding the fostering issue. Anyway, to cut a long story short, the magistrate granted interim orders for Tim to stay in our care until the the Final Orders are put in place (going to Hearing, probably in a few months time), there is another Mention in march, where the magistrate wants an update from all parties concerned. (DH and I have to go to court again next monday as the department wants to vary the orders that were made last week. (it's so confusing at the moment, I have to wonder what we've gotten ourselves into).
This has been a bad week, things with my sister (not em, the other one) have been really nasty. Today, though we seemed to make a little bit of progress (baby steps though). I'm hoping that we can sort things out between us, it will be best for all concerned, especially for Tim. I just want her to understand that I'm not against her, I just have Tim's best interests at heart... that means that I'm in agreeance with the department, and that is what she doesn't like.
Anyhow, I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for all of your thoughts, prayers and well-wishes during this difficult time. I'm sorry, but I have marked most things as "read", there were so many new messages, I just don't have time to go through them all. Prayers offered for all who need them, WELCOME to any newbie's and thoughts being sent out to all.
