Last night I got a phone call from my social worker stating that the kids would be moved to a relative in the kid's hometown. That was all she said which totally freaked me out. I thought maybe I did something since this move is declared right after a 3 night stay with mom and after I asked 'are we sure the baby girl isn't a drug baby'. So I freaked otu and tryed to call her back, she didn't answer, so I did what any irrational freaked otu person would do and called the kids' social worker who also did not answer. However after freaking out a little more I tried again. She answered and informed me it had nothing to do with me and I was great. I knew it was selfish of me to even ask, but I need to know if I have done an error. This is my first foster kids. They are moving to start the reintegration process so when the court date happens they can start moving them home faster. I still don't understand how the mom/grandma are going to be found anything but guilty, but I guess that's not my problem or call. I just hope they actually give me a date they are leaving so I can pack and have them prepared (as well as myself)
I am happy that they are moving towards reintegration I guess---if that's what they need to do. I'm not sure it's what's best for the kids, but that could be the small attachment I have speaking there. I think what's hardest is knowing when they leave that's it. It will kind of feel like the girls moving away. I never get to talk to them anymore and it's hard (course I was around them a lot longer) I'm actually handling it cureently very well. I'm more troubled by the way I was told and how underhanded it was. Maybe the next kid will be for keeps. And I'm at least a little more prepared.
