    It's hit the fan.....

    The tweedles turn 18 tomorrow. So who shows up at my door yesterday. Yup, you guessed it. Birth mom.

    kt was beyond thrilled . . . I, in the meantime, asked her to leave my property. I can't get the story straight as to how long kt knew this woman was coming. As our adoption was to be closed, even after the age of 18, unless the tweedles went looking for her I asked kt if she knew how birth mom found her (us). Some SW opened the file illegally.

    kt was brought home by the police Sunday night (she'd been missing for a month & I requested the police take her to a shelter. That didn't work) kt was gone again within an hour & returned home Tuesday morning.

    kt left again early last evening & is spending til Sunday with this woman. kt demanded to know wm's whereabout - I refused. I will continue to protect 1 child from this woman. I informed wm's team & they've all been put on high alert.

    Whether kt leaves town with this woman or not is anyone's guess. kt's tdoc reminded kt of the abuse and neglect by this woman. kt is delusional and insists that birth mom has changed for the better and has apologized.

    Well, okay then, that makes it all better.

    Linda...

    I'm glad wm's team is on high alert... Why in heaven's name would bio suddenly want to be part of the tweedles' lives? I don't get it.

    As for the SW... I hope they get caught. B/c If it's closed, it's closed. PERIOD. UGH..

    UN -freaking-believable!!!!

    Who the heck would be so stupid as to open that file? These kids are far too judgement disabled to deal with that and you must be beside yourself. Wonder if you'll see kt again? Did she ever get declared vulnerable or have a guardian appointed for after 18? I forgot where you were in that process.

    I'm just so sorry you have to go through this. Can this woman be kept away if kt is choosing it? Pretty scary.

    I don't know what to say. Somehow, I am not surprised. Some of us adoptive parents end up being babysitters until the child becomes an adult. You have sacrificed your life to these kids. I hope the social worker gets nailed to the wall. Hugs, Linda!

    I agree. The social worker should be nailed to the wall. I am soooo glad you didn't give in to kt's demand about wm's whereabouts and that you alerted his team. Since they turn 18 tomorrow, there is little you can do. Wow.....I can only imagine the feelings you're having right now. Wish I lived closer.

    It's unthinkable that one social worker would open the fiel and yet William's team seems to understand.

    I'm sorry Linda.
