This is how A felt about his first night at home.

Hey blog! I'm back.

It's been close to a decade since my last dip into foster parenthood.
Apparently I didn't learn my lesson, and at almost 40, and with a new partner, I've found myself doing it again.

So since we last spoke, I quit my job as a cop, dropped out of college, explored the dating scene, and moved out of Austin to a small college town on the river.
I've been very un cop-like, and that's all I'll say about that.

At some point along the way, I found a part time job at a shelter for teen moms, where I met my sweetheart, and where we met our foster kiddo and his bio mom.

When we agreed to take kiddo in as a Fictive Kin Foster Placement, the goal with CPS was reunification, but as the case evolves, they've decided that termination of moms parental rights is the best thing for him, and we agree.

Anyway, I should mention, that I am a cop again, I do plan on going back to school, and we will likely move back to the big city as soon as sweetheart graduates from Texas State this summer.

Our next court hearing is this month. Stay tuned.
