Are They Just Hoping for the Best?


There was one big thing that I completely left out of last night’s recap of our meeting.  Neither of Leonard and Penny’s parents are working their plans.  Marty said that he doesn’t know exactly why, but it’s not getting done.  That will just be another thing that could potentially push the date back for when the kids would be leaving us.  Obviously, if we’re planning for a long placement anyway, a few months of delay on starting their plans isn’t going to affect us.  When court rolls around in December, they will more than likely just be told that they need to start the plans if they are hoping to get the kids back.  We are fairly certain that, once they leave us, Leonard and Penny will not come back into care.  We never considered that their parents would not be making every effort to get them back.  Both parents are super nice and it seems like they really miss the kids and enjoy seeing them every week at visits.  Neither one of them has skipped or even tried to reschedule or cancel a visit. 

In the end, we just feel really bad for the kids, but I suppose there’s a reason that they’re with us.
