This morning we had our monthly visits with both of Reese's case workers. The state is proceeding with the termination of parental rights. The formal complaint will be filed on May 20th. At that point the birth mother (BM) will have had 6 months to comply with the stipulations DSS gave her. She has failed to comply or attempt to comply with any of them.
Next week (probably Tuesday) our foster care worker will be visiting her at the county jail to let her know that the state is proceeding with the case. She will also let BM know that she has the option to relinquish her rights. By law she can not "talk her into" this, but she can offer the option. If, by the grace of God, she chooses to do this our process would move forward quickly.
Please pray that BM would consider this step. Pray that she will think about the best interest of Reese. Pray for Crystal (the case worker) that God would give her the words that she needs when dealing with BM.
Crystal is supposed to contact us after the visit. I will post as soon as we have more info.
God is good and He is in control!

Hey Crystal -- I very well remember the roller coaster rides we took with my sister during the adoption/foster care process with both her two children. It was a wild, scary ride with many twists and turns -- but well worth every second at the end! We will be praying for you over this process too. Love Much -- The Edens'
I'm praying and will continue to do so!!
