Weird stuff going on...

It has been 12 days since bio-Dad has called, texted or had any contact with myself, the GAL, or the case worker! This is sooooo unlike him especially since he has been involved since before Baby was even born (he knew the state would be taking baby since her other kids were already in the system). He left 14 days ago to see his sick mother a good 5-6 hours away. I received a text when he got there and she had come home from the hospital. It said he'd be back this week. I have sent several texts and gotten no response. The GAL and case worker as well...no response.

Has he given up? Is he just so overwhelmed with the rest of his life that he can't focus on his son? Hmmmmmmmmmm,......................

It seems as though the aunt/uncle's interest is not as enthusiastic as it once was (a month or so ago). I'm not sure why...have they realized that having a toddler is hard work? Have they realized that his placement there "complicates" their usual plans? Have they had a realization that perhaps this isn't what is best for baby?? Eeek...diapers, food, clothing, etc...it all adds up when you are already financially strapped.

The GAL is going hard for TPR! Dad dropping off the grid is making that easier! Of course I'm sure he'll resurface at some point, but sheesh! A month ago I was starting to grieve the potential loss of my baby. Now...there is HOPE! My sweet baby **COULD** be staying???!!!
