a lil update

just wanted to give you all a lil update - we may be picked to do kinship care for my DH's cousins' grand daughter "C" (mom "S" is 15 years old) so "S" ran away last year ended in in GA with moms' family (mom is deceased) don't really know how she ended up being put in the system - guessing when cousin tried to get assistance for her - but now has a 6 month old "C" . On Thursday they were seperated into 2 homes - "S" went to a friends house with "C" and left her there foster mom had to call police because the friend wouldn't give baby up - "S" didn't tell anyone till Saturday when she called faternal grandmother (DH'S aunt) for money. She is supposed to be going to a "Mommy & Me" program but there is no room there so we may take care of "C" until she is moved there. I spoke with her SW's Supervisor who asked if we were willing to take them both and I told her no because "S" doesn't like rules and my house has them - she said she understood - DH's aunt said she'll keep "S" until she is moved and really wants us to keep "C" until then -Hopefully it'll only be for a month or so we are ok with it - we know "S" is young but she was grown enough to get in this situation and unfortunately she will have to grow up fast- the program is a really good one that will teach her the parenting sklls that she will need... Pray for us -
