That just makes me so mad and sad at the same time. I know others have discussed this on the forum in other spots. It is just terrible that a woman makes the difficult decision to place her child and then is swayed to not do so by someone that says they will help and they DON'T. Then to add to it he not only does not help he kills the child and says he was drunk! I know things like this happen all the time, but not necessarily ending in death. We know of a situation where the father actually abuses the child and CPS has been involved MANY times and still nothing is done. The child is just a way for the father to control things. The number one person who looses out is the child, the one that it should be all about. It is so sad that everyone has failed these children in situations like this. I know there are so many factors that could be involved in any situation. Abuse, drugs, fear from so many things, not knowing options, not knowing things could be better, seeing the system fail others or themselves, and so much more that I have no idea about. I can only imagine the decision. I can see how a mother would grab onto any string of hope that would allow her to parent. How sad for her and any mother or parent that must deal with the emotions of loosing a child in this manner. How sad for any parent to have to deal with the emotions of not having a child lost in this manner, but actually see him or her grow up with abuse. Every child needs to feel loved, safe, and secure. It is so sad to think that so many children do not have this. Some times I will start to think of how widespread it is and then I have to just back away from those thoughts. It just rips you apart. lisa v

We did an update when we began our second journey and found out we should have waited. We sent in a copy of our original homestudy and that was enough (along with reprints/ physicals/ newly filled out Abrazo forms/ and reference letters) to start the process again. We will need to do an update when we are matched and nearing the due date. If we get a BOG we will scream, call our social worker and beg to get her here in an hour, scream more, and hope all gets completed in a reasonable timeframe. As I understand it with the new rules Andrew (who is 3) will need to be interviewed! Now THAT should be FUNNY!!!! Good luck with everything!!!! Lisa V
