We go into court this week. I still haven't figured out the process as far as court is concerned, so I'm not exactly sure what this hearing is for. I know the babies won't be there, and we won't be getting them back then (though, one can always holds tight to that far-fetched hope).
My husband has spoken to his lawyer to see if it will be possible for the children to come home if he leaves the home.
Let that sink in for a minute.
Neither my husband nor I hurt our children or ourselves. We never neglected them, we never mistreated them. We have no charges against us for ANYTHING. Yet, our marriage may be put on hold so that our children can sleep in their own beds.
Lovely.
I've learned of other innocent families that have been not only torn apart by CPS, but have been further torn asunder in an effort to have their kids home and safe and sound.
What happened to "reunification of the family"? Should they amend it to "reunification of most of the family" or maybe, "reunification of what CPS deems important members of the family"?
The more I learn about CPS, the way they work and the "good" they do... the more frightened I am about the future of my family.
It bothers me that we're even considering this route. My husband and I knew soon after we met that we wanted children. We knew even then that we wanted our children raised in a two parent home. Not a blended family home, not a single parent home, but a two parent home. We wanted them (and still want them) raised by us together. We know that both of us bring something to the "table" that is vital in the raising of healthy, happy children.
The fact that a stressful moment in the middle of an incredibly stressful few months could bring us to the point of considering separating for the sake of our children is unbelievable to me.
We are good parents.
My husand is a wonderful father.
When is that taken into account?
