Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:51:22 +0000 http://janine.slingers.org/2008/04/16/thats-more-like-it/#comment-9 I'm so glad to hear the the reunification time has been extended out a bit, in order to have more visitation between Angel and his grandmother. I agree with you, it would've been so hard on Angel if an immediate move was made! We're facing a reunification in t he near future as well. Our 5 month old foster daughter (we've had her since she was 3 weeks old) is expected to be moved back in with her parents in mid-July. As hard as it's been to give up time with this precious baby girl, I think it's a good thing that her parents have been given increased visitation with her in their home. She needs time to re-create a bond with them before she leaves our family to re-join her own. We've been lucky, her parents have bent over backwards to work their case plans, never missing a visit, and we've had the chance to see how very much they love their daughter and want to turn their lives around to get her back. Having this knowledge will make it easier on my heart when the baby goes back home.
