Buckfields Mad Momma: A whirlwind

http://buckfieldzmadmomma.blogspot.com/2009/10/whirlwind.html

Monday, October 26, 2009. I am still reeling from our weekend whirlwind. We picked CT up at the foster families house at 8:00 am His "Nine" (foster Mama) was sick. A terrible head cold and stomach thing happening. So, they suggested we keep him for the day, rather than our scheduled 2 hours. A "Hi Da" for Andy. We kept him the whole day. Played in his new room. Carved a pumpkin with all the kids, read a story, and just hung out together. IT WAS AB FAB! We brought him home on Saturday evening. We talked t...

Buckfields Mad Momma: June 2009

http://buckfieldzmadmomma.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 29, 2009. So, we made it through our baby's first birthday! It went really well. A handful of friends and family came to celebrate with us at our local play ground. Griffin enjoyed his bull-dozer cake. But stayed surprisingly clean. Even still.I am glad to have my family back. It takes a lot of time from them, and a lot "alone" time for me. I miss dinners at the table ( I hate eating alone), and sitting on the couch with my man and a movie. Time with my favorite adult. I guess that's it....

Buckfields Mad Momma: July 2009

http://buckfieldzmadmomma.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Friday, July 31, 2009. Our disclosure meeting scheduled for today, was rescheduled due to an emergency surgery for the GAL. I am sorry that she needs surgery, whatever it is, but am pissed that we have had another delay. IT IS WHAT IT IS. I have started a "life book" for our family. To give to Carrot Top before transitioning occurs. The social worker recommended this. To show him his room. His family. His pets. Things of that sort. Friday, July 24, 2009. I want to be the best mommy and advocate. I just w...

Buckfields Mad Momma: May 2009

http://buckfieldzmadmomma.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 29, 2009. And There it is. Got the call, and here is the story. Carrot top was featured on "Thursday's Child", for our state's adoption advocacy initiative. This was taped long before we had inquired about him. However, it JUST aired this week. The SW said "that due to overwhelming response to his case, they have decide to put him on hold until all home studies can be read and reviewed.". So we wait. AGAIN! For all home studies to be received, read, and reviewed. BACK TO SQUARE ONE! It is lik...

Monday, August 31, 2009. I haven't blogged in a while. Been going through some crap. Emotional, not worthy or viable, CRAP! We still have NOT had our last disclosure meeting. It seems to keep getting rescheduled. The GAL is in bad health due to her age, and if at all possible.she needs to be present! She has had carrot top on her caseload for ALL of the years he has been in foster care. My children are all back in school. WOO HOOT! Do I sound wicked stoked? Hey what about me? What is my purpose?

Buckfields Mad Momma: January 2009

http://buckfieldzmadmomma.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 27, 2009. What's the hold up? So, I was promised that our license would be in hand by mid January. I contacted my placement social worker, and she has yet to finish typing up our home study report. We have finished our part in the process, mid November. We wait. And wait. And wait. Will it ever come to pass? Will we ever have our ending? Tuesday, January 20, 2009. She seems to get certain things from the kids. Harrison is her playmate. He has tea, and plays barbies with her. Just another...

Buckfields Mad Momma: September 2009

http://buckfieldzmadmomma.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Thanks for all of your comments yesterday, I appreciate the advice. This is NOT a decision to be made lightly. Nor do we want to be hasty in the out come. Today I contacted our school district. I want to SEE our Special Ed department. I have also requested copies of IEP's and PET's to better understand CT's need in the educational system. You can't fight for something you don't understand. Have relationships with peers. How adjustments May. Maybe I am over thinking. I realize...
