The day before court

OMG, this is so nerve racking, and I am so freaked out it.  The social worker in me knows that this mother has no chance in having this child back, and of course in my opinion shouldn't.  But I also know that the system says that she should get reunification services. 

I am the one who gets up three times a night to change and feed him, i give him meds 4 times a day, i am so sleep deprived I can't see straight....ARRGHH...i knew that it was going to be this way, and what i was getting into, and i knew that it was going to be this way, but i didn't take into account the feelings that I would have.  It is true, when they say that you can still bond and love a baby that you don't give birth too.

Tomorrow is the court date, this one is to decide if he will become a dependent of the court, and what they are going to do, either give mom services and give her a chance or if it will go straight to adoptions.  Think good thoughts, and i will keep you posted.
