I was shocked to find out that after Brian and I spoke yesterday afternoon, he called back and was able to get ahold of our licensing worker. He was able to ask some more of the questions that we wanted answers to. The boys' mom is in jail, not sure how long or what she did. The court has petitioned for termination of rights (or goal 24 in legal terms). That goal has not been changed yet, but mom is not getting any visits as of right now. They have a sister that is either 2 or 3 years old and she is living with a relative. The boys visit with the sister once per week. The relative(s) do not want the boys. (how sad) They have lived with a foster family for at least a year and have been noted as physically agressive based on 2 incidences. 1 was when one of the boys hit a dog with a wiffle ball bat (early in the placement) and the other is when one of the boys through a rock and broke a windshield (this is what has put the foster parents over the edge). Neither of those things seem like a big deal to me, the boys just need to be taught appropriate behaviors. Both boys have IEPs for speech, which is no big deal at all.
That's basically what we know for now and we have until Monday to make our decision (which has already been made, but we are not posting it here until we speak to our case worker).
Lord, we are so blessed. Thank you for all you have given to us.
