DFS (Dept of Family Services) had set the court date to not work with the mother anymore and to start working on getting Rajuan placed with someone permanently.

Phyllis,

My heart just breaks for these children. How many chances can you give someone especially when there are 2 childrens' lives involved. I guess you'd say that I really don't think all children belong with their natural parents and a court system that thinks that's where they belong particularly when there are wonderful and loving people who would give these children what they need and deserve. They deserve better than that. My thoughts and prayers are with these children and really hope that Mom gets her stuff together.

Hugs,

Susan

Phyllis, I had meant to post about that this morning and just forgot in my haste to get ready to leave in time for the place I had to be. I am so sorry that the court decided to give the mother another chance. I know there are times when it's warranted, but this doesn't really sound like one of them. I will still keep him in my prayers. Things can always change. My heart goes out to you too.


Hugs,

Rhonda

It is always the children that end up suffering in these circumstances.

I'm sorry to hear the court's decision about Rajuan. I'm sorry he has to be subjected to such instability again. I'm not wishing ill on his mother; I hope she can pull herself together for her kids' benefit, but somehow I doubt that's what's going to happen. I do think you and Johnny may have another chance to give that little guy the kind of home he deserves. I hope the court realizes that.

Hugs,

Donna

So sorry that Rajuan will not be with you and Johnny. I know you would have taken really good care of him and given him so much love and attention. I just hope his mom gets her act together and does right by her boys. Its amazing how many chance some people get in their lives.

This is sad, Phyllis. Justice needs to be blind, but not deaf, dumb and stupid. I'll hope that there is a different outcome in the end.

"I wish these men and women would quit layin' up with each other that don't want to have kids."

I echo that. Too wrapped up in self-satisfaction of the moment to think about what it takes to raise kids for the next 18-22 years. No one wants to be responsible for their actions.
