decision made

What a crazy week! We left Wednesday after our re-certification meeting for grand junction and it was a quick and busy trip, we had 5 meetings and a huge decision to make. We met with both bio parents in the morning and heard their concerns and then met with the bio dad's lawyer and mentor, the children's therapist, the caseworkers and then the current foster parents. We wanted to see and hear what everyone felt was best for these 3 boys. I wanted to look them in the eyes and see if they were lying or telling the truth, i wanted to make sure that they could see my face and know that i wanted the truth. As i've said before, in my previous post, we just needed two questions answered, we received those answers and it was easy to make our decision. The foster parents made it very clear that they wanted nothing to do with the bio parents and communication with the bio parents was not an option. We were also told that there was some willingness by the foster family and social services to split the boys up. We are not okay with the bio parents and children not being able to have some sort of communication with each other and we are also not okay with the boys being split up. Once we were able to talk to everyone involved and ask those questions, it was easy for us to decide that we were going to try and adopt these boys. It is not going to be easy, it will be up to the court and we have come forward so late in the case that it really could go any way. We truly hope we can have these children placed with us and that we will be able to eventually adopt them. Our next court date isn't until july 23rd, we will know more then...........
