Well, was I right about anything? Let's see:
CC - well, it turns out that she didn't even have court that day. Why not? Because it was actually held the WEEK before. Right. And no one knew or told us. Her caseworker didn't even know about it. How do they hold court without the caseworker? How do they make decisions about a child and no one who actually deals with her knows about any of it? Sigh.
Baby N - as of right now they are court ordered to look into family for him. He has 2 older siblings that have been adopted by a non-family member and one older brother (by one year, almost exactly) who lives with his paternal grandparents. They have custody of that child. Now, why did they not come forward for Baby N? Because they only found out about his existence last Friday! The bio parents don't want Baby N to go with the paternal grandparents because they do not get along. Something about how the grandparents do not approve of the bio parents lifestyle. Shocking. The next court date for Baby N is in October, but that's mostly for the bio dad because he never showed up to court and doesn't have representation yet. Also, the parents have missed 3 visits so far - including one the day after they ran into Andrea at Walmart.
BJ - oh boy, his case is a doozy. For real. As of right now, both parents are in jail for very different reasons. So, there go any visits. Plus, the judge gave permission for him to move to his aunts house as soon as she gets approval. Her state has been out to her house and how they have 60 days to file all paperwork and give approval. BJ's caseworker is going to try and light a fire under them so he can be moved before Thanksgiving. Or at least by then - over a school break, they hope. that is good - as of now his parents are in NO shape to care for him and the best thing for him is to be with his aunt, who he loves. He will be an only child and I think he will LOVE the state he will be moving to.
As for my predictions, I am giving myself a 75%. Not totally wrong, but not totally right. I think I am a 'C' student when it comes to predicting the actions of the state.
