I put a blow up mattress in our room and she slept in our room while husband slept on the couch. I woke her up from no fewer than 4 nightmares.
Everything that has happened has amplified her fear that we won't keep her.
Last week we filed papers for an adult adoption. They can't be processed soon enough.
THis morning I am tired and heartsick. How do we proceed? Are we supposed to act different? Is our life supposed to change?
What do we do?

more time in court
Our Court date spawned a number of other court dates.
Nov. 6 is the pre-trial for TPR
December 7th is the actual TPR trial.
But first we have to get through the grandparents official petition to override the case plan and adopt the kids outright. That date is Oct. 5th. I think if we get through this it will be ok... TPR seems like a slam dunk and the parents haven't done anything but live on the street and fail drug tests.
LIttle Snow White is worse than she has ever been. She keeps asking where she belongs, saying that she isn't where she is supposed to be... but doesn't know where to go.
It has finally hit her that there is no winning in this for her. She will either lost the family she has had from birth, or us (and she loves us).
There has been a lot of screaming, a lot of blame, and a lot of "you're not my parents" etc.
I have no idea what to do and Snow White's therapist almost cried at the end of the therapy appointment yesterday.
And still we stumble onward.
