I got my girl!

So I have made a few post's in the past, in regards to my sister in law and her poor little daughter. Well I am happy to say myself and boyfriend are now going through the steps to foster her. We recently had our home study done, we now have to get our finger prints and background checked by the FBI. Talking with the social worker yesterday just broke my heart! I found out that DCF  had been called on my sister in law 15 times before  they finally removed the baby from her. They had been living in a warehouse that had formally been used tire shop that the father had owned previous to there downward spiral with meth. What we thought were bug bites, actually turned out be what's called "meth bugs" . They are not actual bugs but they are sores on the skin caused by all the exposure to the harsh chemicals . She had not been to the docter in over a year, she was behind 6 immunizations. I cant even imagine what goes on in this babies head. My heart hurts for her... The three months will be very long. We will be "sharing care" for about a three month period with my boyfriends mother, allowing all of us to get used to one another . Then she will be with us full time for one year. After the one year, the state of Florida will asses the Mother and Father to see if the have complied with all there requirements and if it is possible to reunite them. I don't even want to think about this day, it makes me cringe!
