Highs and Lows

I'm off today, went to an awesome cycling class, did a circuit of weight training (or something like that), now I need to make some lunch plans and pack for my weekend with the BF.

My life is all upside down. Cue Jack Johnson fading up in the background...

Things with Thom are awesome...couldn't be better...but things with my fam aren't so well. My sis and bro in law are foster parents. They've been fostering a boy since he was two days old. He'll be two next month. The time passed for his parents to start the return to family process, but somehow the state didn't file the paperwork when they were supposed to, so two months after the adoption process should have started for my sister, the biological dad pops into the picture (only because his parents want to raise the child), and gets visitation. Sounds bad...and it is. He's missed several appointments and visits, but it still looks like they're going to return him to the bio family. While I understand the birthdad is young, he knew his girlfriend was pregnant, they lived together during the pregnancy...so that's nine months to think about stuff, plus a whole other year once he was born to figure out what he wanted. My 'nephew' cries everytime he has to go for visitation, b/c he doesn't know what's going on. My sis and bro in law can't biologically have kids, so they turned to the foster/adoption route. Yes they know the risks involved, but after two years??? It's kinda sad. I'm very worried they'll lose the little guy and that will be so terrible.

Anyhoo, not to bring you all down on the weekend...just something weighing on my mind.

Take care of yourself and each other...
