No news, no call back from the birth mother. NO big surprise really, considering that i knew she had put off facing the reality of her situation and it's ramifications for this long.
i don't care to rehash the play-by-play details of the conversation i had with her on Friday simply because I believe the more you replay and relive any situation that is negative or undesirable only bring you more of the same.
Additionally, after having the 20 minute conversation, I left feeling physically sick and emotionally drained.
For those of you watching and waiting to hear the news, here is a list of the gory details I learned last Friday:
- She might be getting evicted in 5 days.
- there are two warrants out for her arrest.....one for crashing her car into some public place, the second is for not paying her (most recent) drunk driving ticket.
- She just beat her cat before coming to work because "the damn thing pissed in the house again"
- She would NOT be giving the twins to her sister because " that crazy bitch has too many goddamned kids"
and last, but not least......
She thinks she "might want to keep them now, because, you know, twins are just kind of cool!"
How lovely!
Obviously, logic and common sense do not apply here.
What is done is done, she will do what she wants to do, and the babies will more than likely suffer as a result. I would imagine that eventually the state will have to step in and remove them from her custody. apparently, she is supposed to be in jail for one of the warrants. Not to mention, a person who beats an animal just shy of killing it is probably not going to be such a quiet caretaker of a crying newborn...much less TWO kids.
Jeff and I have decided that we will not be taking anymore chances with our family for now. It is entirely possible that this chapter to be coming to a close, but only time will reveal the answers. Should these kids end up "in the system", it is also possible that we could be the family who ultimately makes a home for them.
As difficult as it is to know what she has chosen to do, we can hope that all will be well for the children. I have a pretty good feeling that the charm of "having twins" will soon lose it's lustre.
It is simply unfortunate that kids are taken along for the ride.
