Friends of Drug Addicts

It may come as a surprise, but hard core, unrepentant drug addicts have questionable friends.

Snow White's parents are no different. As I explained in my last post, Snow White would get to her unsupervised visit by having Dina, her parents' BFF, meet us at a park and drive Snow White to them.

This lasted one night.

Upon meeting Dina it became clear that something was off. She either has serious mental health issues or has used drugs to the point where it has caused her brain to malfunction. Know this, I am not attempting to be insensitive or mean. Dina might be a lovely person who would do her absolute best for Snow White.... but some people have handicaps, and she is one of them. Watching her drive away with Snow White was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.

Snow White came back safely (albeit tense), and  hours later Dina tried to kill herself and was forced into a mental health facility for observation for 3 days.

Read that sentence again.


It really happened.


HOURS after driving my baby around THE AGENCY APPROVED DRIVER tried to kill herself. Proving once again that we are the only ones who are putting Snow White's safety first.

Dina was thankfully pulled off of the case and will no longer transport. Bio mom and dad are furious and even petitioned for her to be reinstated as their driver in court. Our new judge (thanks again for him God) is no one's fool and emphatically denied their petition.

It seems that they are having trouble finding someone who is willing to drive Snow White once a week, who has a valid driver's license, and who has a clean record.

That might be the saddest thing. That they literally have no one in their lives who meets those most basic requirements.

Of course the real saddest thing is that if Snow White goes back with them she will have no one in her life who meets those basic requirements either.
