[QUOTE="Just keep swimming, post: 22600, member: 211"] Cassie, First off, congratulations! I LOVE his name! Hoping he is in an awesome foster home, when I took in new borns I treated them as my own and cuddled, snuggled and comforted them as much possible, so not to worry, he is most likely being loved. I know easy for me to say, hard for you to hear. Second off, make SURE children's services KNOWS you want to be his caretaker. Call and call some more and ask what you need to do to get cleared ASAP to get him in your home. Be polite and let them know you have the baby's best interest in mind and want to do anything you can to be there for him. Ask to talk to the SW's supervisor (in a polite way) if you can't get anywhere with the SW. At the very least you should be first on the list of being able to have visitation. Again, be as accomadating and polite as possible, putting the BABY first in every thing you are doing. Support the foster family, make (if not friends) at least acqaintances with them as they can be great supports for you to get the little guy into your home. Sorry to act all preachy at you, but have been there done that many times with hostile (not saying you would be!), well meaning grandparents, and you just have to suck it up and be as polite and concerned as possible. Hugs and best of luck Grandma! Vickie [/QUOTE]
