Matt and I found out tonight that we will be bringing a new addition home from the hospital on Saturday. Baby D is a baby girl, born March 25. She was born with fetal heroin addiction and is finally ready to leave the hospital. We will get to go to the hospital and meet her tomorrow and then bring her home on Saturday. We are excited and scared at the same time.
The parents want reunification so if they succeed with their treatment program Baby D will be returned to them at that time. I am already heartbroken at that possibility although I wish them the best. If they do not complete their program we will most likely be able to adopt her. It is so hard not knowing the future but we knew that we would go through this when we became foster parents. As tough as it may be I am so glad we made this decision and can't wait to make a difference in this precious little child's life.
More to come...
