Snow White is beautiful and amazing and awesome and sweet and so completely lovable!
She just met my mother, and it was surprising how quickly Snow White had mom wrapped around her little finger.
Today is her visit day with her bio parents so I had a couple of hours to go over the court documents, doc records and get in touch with her GAL.
GALs are one of the most important people in a foster kid's life. Apparently judges take what they say to heart over everyone else's. I have read where bad GALs have ruined cases and returned children to bad situations.
Snow White's GAL seems amazing! She is a volunteer and really cares about Snow White. She was very concerned about the situation with her former foster parents and was relieved to talk with me and get to know me. I like that she is judging whether or not I will be good enough for Snow White. I WANT her to be constantly working on doing what is best for her.
My heart is so glad, and it seems like I have a great team around me. Our caseworker is new to the case, but he is a veteran and is very experienced. He has a huge caseload (they all do) but has managed to answer all of my questions and responds quickly.
Yesterday went great. We played, talked and spent time bonding. I think yesterday was a high... and I am curious to see if today after her visit will be a low. She is starting to understand that she isn't going back to her old foster home and is working hard to understand why.
I still see God's hand all over this placement. I have placed her completely in His hands, and my wish is that you all include her in your prayers.
