Cathy in IL Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I am nearly in shock. DCFS approved the expanded capacity waiver I needed to bring my goddaughter home. I pick her up in the morning just in time for her 2nd birthday on Sunday! It's been 10 long weeks, but the battle is over!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a really good child play therapist in your area who could help her with all the internal crap she will have from being yanked out of a secure environment?

Cathy in IL Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 She yelled, "Yay!" when she saw the house. She has been laughing and playing so much today. She checked out all her favorite little places in the house. Tonight we went to Rainforest Cafe and celebrated. I bought her a Valentine's Birthday dress with matching shows and hairbows at Gymboree and new gym shoes because hers were too small. We have her Early Intervention meeting scheduled for a week from today already, and I touched base with her aural rehab therapist. It was a full exciting day!
