Todays DCFS hearing

Today was a hearing for the judge to follow up on Jenny and Ryan's progress. Apparently they haven't progressed too much. Tammy said that the judge yelled at them saying it wasn't that hard to follow a no contact order and said that she didn't see any progress being made and that at the next hearing on Jan 24th if things hadn't changed they would start look at placing the girls for adoption. Tammy felt like it was a waste of time. I didn't have to endure the emotional drama of sitting through it but I thought it sounded positive. Times a ticking and they aren't changing and the dates between court hearings gets longer and longer. Tammy also said Jenny got a copy of the letter that Sabrina sent to the judge and was very angry. Ryan's attorney told the judge that Sabrina was "mentally unstable". DCFS attorney said "Sabrina is the kin placement where Ryan and Jenny both requested the girls be placed." Jenny gave her paycheck stub to the case worker and her check stub listed Ryan's address as hers.

Jenny's report was a little different. She didn't mention Sabrina's letter or what the judge said. She just said we can have off site visits with the girls, there was a no contact order and Ryan had to quit living with his dad. She then asked me to call Ryan and talk to him about Sean's birthday. Not going to happen! She told me she got hired at the center for autistic adults and that her criminal background check came back clean. What??? I find that hard to believe. Sabrina said she would see if it was true.
