In my haste I forgot to post a few pics of kids we took in our studio. As for with lidia it was alomost a done deal with her last night after she got in trouble for cutting school she says she nolonger wants to do PLC that she wants to stay in DHS til she is adopted and so that would mean she would be placed elsewhere because once we adopt the boys we are nolonger doing foster care. So she went to her room for the rest of the night so around 11 pm she came down stairs and finally we got out of her why she has been behaiving like she has and I realized that the adoption case worker was coming out finally today. So what she was doing is trying to jepordize the whole thing with her staying permenatly because she is afraid because she thinks once dhs is out of the picture things will change between us like we would began to treat her differently and as she puts it began to beat her. she associates parents with abuse and she thought once we became her parents we would abuse her like her mother did..... Well we talked til 1am and aired out everything and we told her noone was forcing her to do anything that it has been her choiced from the start she came to us and told us she wanted to be adopted by us and so we told her to sleep on it and let us know what she believes is best and she still wants to do the PLC. So I will let you know how the meeting goes today with the adoption worker.
