no help, but I thought it might be of interest

Anne

Intresting read, I can't believe that she is not aloud to call her children
by their name in public, I was never told that about Joshua and I would
never agree to that, I am Joshua's mummy and always will be, I have the C
section mark to prove that fact and well I am going to shut up now or it
will turn into a mad rage. It has been confirmed with Joanna though that had
the midwifes notified SS in plenty of time and they had done the psyciatrist
assessment before her due that then I probably would have taken her home or
to a residential assessment unit. They are just screwed up but at least its
been confirmed we are on the right track at the moment with the view in that
near future that Joanna will start rehab back into the family where she
belongs. Anyway I am off to bed as I am seeing my daughter in the morning
and want to be bright and cheery for my little cherub whos absolutly
georgeos and makes me melt.

April

One week, five days, 14 hours, 20 minutes and 3 seconds. 390 cigarettes not
smoked, saving £97.24. Life saved: 1 day, 8 hours, 30 minutes.

I can't believe that either. That seems just rediculous! Reminds me of
Michael Jackson and his "Blanket" baby and the other ones that wear things
over their heads... Kinda different, but whatever... First thought that came
to my mind, or maybe it was the second thought after, 'how stupid!'

I was never told that about Joshua and I would never agree to that, I am
Joshua's mummy and always will be, I have the C section mark to prove that

I was never told that either, and although DS1 doesn't live with us full
time, he does stay over and DS2 stays over there. He's always been Zach,
I've always been simply Kathryn (I'm perfectly fine with that) or Tummy
Mummy. Not only do you have all that to prove it, but you have the DNA and
the bond that ALL mothers have with their children. I have the scar,
blood and DNA as well with Zachary, the exact same as Bran and Amie. I
think I will stop as well, or I think you and I will probably be locked up
somewhere lol

It has been confirmed with Joanna though that had the midwifes notified SS
in plenty of time and they had done the psyciatrist assessment before her
due that then I probably would have taken her home or to a residential
assessment unit.

THAT would just be utterly frustrating... I'm not there, nor do I have a
thing to do with anything, but *I* find it to be so frustrating!

They are just screwed up but at least its been confirmed we are on the
right track at the moment with the view in that near future that Joanna
will start rehab back into the family where she belongs.

That's a good thing. Good to hear that things are still going well. I'd
have expected nothing less, actually, since everything seems so unnecessary
with the whole ordeal at the beginning.

Anyway I am off to bed as I am seeing my daughter in the morning and want
to be bright and cheery for my little cherub whos absolutly georgeos and

April

Hehe she really is beautiful! DH just had DD in here a second ago, but I
think it's the heat that is making me melt... Or the smell of a diaper that
might need to be changed Hope the morning goes well for you and I really
hope things get moving to the right place, not just in the right direction!
I'm off back upstairs since it's supper time... An hour in the car to get
home from the gas station - normally about 7ish minutes max - has left me
frustrated and very, very hungry... Even if it is just hotdogs on the BBQ
today, I'm starving!

That is a rash system. Mind you, here in Québec we are in the process of
reassing our own children protection system, which is never so radical in
terms of adoption. When a potential problem is detected, or should I say "a
problem", as they are so cautious about it sometimes it goes on the verge of
not caring enough, a child is placed within another family, but NEVER do the
parents lose their status nor their basic rights as parents forever! That
would happen after a long time, once it has really been proven that a child
is being molested or neglected or whatever by his/her natural parents.

There are abuses because of that system: children get to a family, then to
their parents, then to another family, back to the parents, etc., leading to
lots of confusion in their little brain. On the other hand, parents who are
fit do get the benefit of the doubt, which doesn't seem to be the case in
the UK.

I sympathize with April and others who suffer like her, and when I look at
our system I feel we're also missing the train. Shouldn't there be a middle
ground?

Just musing here. Don't mind me.
