Quick update: We have three foster kids. One is a nearly 11 months old boy. He has been in our care for a month and 3 with another home before us. He was put into foster care by order of a judge....the judge "told" the SW to go get the baby bc Mom wasn't coming to her court hearings. Apparently the judge was working her court appts in between his trials trying to help her I assume. They pulled him for neglect....Mom wasn't taking care of her mental health which is pretty sever as far as we know. Plus, the condition of the home and the "people" coming in and out of the home. Mom and Dad have had 2 visits since we have had them and they were the first after Mom was given visit opportunities back. The parents have stop requesting them since. They have not seen our FS in two weeks. Turns out Mom was arrested again. She has court likely for the neglect at the end of this month.
His SW isn't helpful at all about timing, court information etc. etc, but our FD's therapist and SW think that he'll be here until April for sure. (The therapist knows Mom.) We are hoping to adopt him, but understand that's really long from now and being hopeful.
So to my questions...
I read a posting on here just the other day about taking lifebooks to court to help prove how well the kids have being doing in our home. How do I do that with an infant's lifebook? Should I be recording when he says his first words (which I'm doing) and that he has learned to follow when I say "no" and "come here" and finally has learned his name? How can we be preparing a lifebook in case it is used for possible TPR?
Also, with an infant that is going to be here for so long (most likely anyway) what should we be calling ourselves? By our first name, I assume vs Mom and Dad?
Thanks!
