Donavan Update.....

So we had a hearing today about Donavan and Evalynn. CPS said their official stand was to place the kids together in the same family (they did not say which). Jessie's lawyer stated again that Jessie wants both children placed with us for adoption. The guardian ad litem (a person appointed to keep the best interest of the kids at heart) asked that an investigation be done to see how removing Donavan from one home to another would affect him.

Anyway, CPS asked for a continuation until May 11, 2009 which was granted. In the meantime, the investigation will be done. Jessie's lawyer is going to prepare consents for adoption for both children and then petition the court SEPERATE from CPS for the children to be placed for adoption with us. Once he had submitted those papers, we should get a hearing date within 30 days to see if the court will accept our petition.

I will have to keep a "permanent" residence in Arizona. So we have some plans to make and work out. In the meantime the case worker is ONCE AGAIN supposed to start facilitating meetings to include Jessie, us, the other foster parents and both kids.
