D Back Home

At the end of July, only about 4 months after coming to stay with us, D was moved back home with his mom and his siblings. His visits grew longer, progressing to overnight and all-day visits. We never went to any court hearings or team meetings,  but it seemed to us that D's mom must have been doing what she needed to do to show she could provide for her children. After he returned home, one of our friend's little boys had a birthday party down by where he lived and I took the chance to text his mom and ask if D could join us since he loved playing with this other boy. She responded right away and was happy for him to come, and even came in to the Chuck E Cheese to pick him up, chatted with us parents, etc. She said we are welcome to spend time with him again, but in the following 3 months we just haven't seen a good opportunity to do so. It seems like this has been a good outcome so far, and whenever we see D's photo around we thank God for the chance to have him with us for that short time and pray for his future!
