I can hardly breathe for I know I have limited time left with my little Moe Baby. I can barely stand to think that after Tuesday he will soon be going home with his father for good and I will be "left in the dust" of their quick moving trail.
We are not sure what will happen after the final hearing on Tuesday. If anyone knows how this part goes... please fill me in! My caseworker has only been doing this for 15 months and this is her first case to be returning home so she is kind of in the dark as well. We are all excited that his father has come so far and has proven to LOVE his son unconditionally and in that he will be getting him back; BUT it is still very bittersweet!
As far as I know we will see him again. I have been a part of helping his father get everything together. He has told me that we will always be part of Moe's life. But it is not over 'til it is over. I have heard sad stories way too many times where the foster parents were a big part of the parents getting the kids back but then the communication breaks when the child is back "home".
It breaks my heart to think that I could never see him again.
Almost 2 weeks ago for about a 2 week stretch I was ready to ship both the boys off to a third world country! They are synchronized teethers and I was getting a lethal serving of C.R.A.B.A.P.P.L.E PIE! It was undesirable to say the least!
Now it is over and the smoke has settled and so have the crumbs from the pie. Both boys are back to their sweet selves again (with intermittent crumbs) and it is killing me to have to say goodbye to my precious boy. Ask me two weeks ago and I probably would have paid someone to take them both (but only for a day or two)!
I know he is going to fulfill God's intended purpose for his life. I have prayed it and continue to pray it still. I know there are others who also pray for him and his family and wherever he ends up. I don't want to be jealous or even selfish but my heart can only wish that he would grow up here and we would be able to watch him grow and help him become the man God has called him to be.
I pray he would be given wings to SOAR above the world and all it's destruction. God protect him from the unknown. Guide him in the direction of righteousness. Bless him and his family in all that they do Father! Watch over our Moe Baby and his family Lord! Watch over them...

Oh, Bri! I hope and pray everything transitions smoothly. You have done the work of Christ... may God bless and protect your sweet Moe!
Oh Bri, I can't imagine this time in your life. How emotionally charged. I pray for you, and your whole family as I can only imagine how painful this will be.
I just want to say that I am praying for you and for sweet Moe Baby and his father. I know it has to be SOO hard to say good bye but I am in awe of how you are truly being the hands and feet of Jesus and caring for little ones in need even when it may mean a broken heart for you in the end. I cannot imagine a more selfless godlike task. I really have to say that though this is hard for you I am so in awe of your willingness to just give it to God and pray for and even root for his dad to get it together. My love and prayers are sooo with you! May God richly bless your family for the heart work you are doing!
"Lord plaese give Bri and J peace that surpasses understanding and guard this little man - making him into all You have planned for him!"
:( Praying for Moe Baby and YOU to have an easy transition and that contact will continue as planned! You have been such a huge part of his life and I know he is who he is because of your wonderful guidance and love.
When Karmen went back home it went pretty fast.
We did have a day or two to get everything together, but it's never enough time.
I know God is SO proud of you for raising that sweet little man.
Praying for you. We will be in your shoes all too soon.
Take time to grieve. But know that God will watch over our children.
