Well, we met with the BM and our SWs today. They told us the agency is going to involve CPS, and we will be Foster parents, with the intention of adopting the baby. This is because the BF is currently fighting the whole situation. We know he is bluffing, and BMs SW is going to try to call his bluff as much as she can. BF is not really interested in parenting, he just wants to control the situation. This is the same man who said he didn't want any daughters (and the baby's a girl) and he told BM to have an abortion. The SWs said that in the worst case, it could go on for 2 years before it's resolved. It's very likely that his rights will be terminated by the courts, but there are no guarantees. He hasn't had any convictions in 2 years, so maybe some judge will focus on that, instead of the fact that he is a violent criminal who is unstable.
To add to all the fun in my life <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif" alt="" /> my dad, who is an alcoholic, has lost his job of 30 years due to failing a drug test at work (It's a loong story!) He is suffering from depression, major anxiety, and was denied unemployment. He is seriously considering moving in with my sister for a little while, so he can get himself feeling better, and then go find a job. He is in no condition to look for a job right now, and, in fact, gets overwhelmed at the thought of looking for a job.
I am praying for my sanity, and really praying that all of this works out quickly. I am praying that BF gets thrown in jail, because we could have the court date set, he couldn't show up, and his rights would be terminated. I just know that it won't be that easy, though.
If anyone has any spare prayers, I would really appreciate it. I don't want to have to explain to my dd that we have to give back her baby sister <img src="http://www.asklenore.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" />
