Pinch Me Please(updated)

First, I must tell you how much I love this woman, even if this doesn't work out.

Anyway, runergirl and I were talking on the phone and she casually mentioned her worker telling her of a baby girl that had a feeding tube, came through and was placed. She asked why they didn't call her and she was told because she was considered medically needy. You'll never guess what she has...

A cleft palette, which is the reason for the feeding tube. There are also some things that will require surgery in her private areas, but nothing major, at least I don't think.

I told Runergirl, you should call them back. She was probably placed in a temporary foster home. In the background, I hear L saying "I want her" and I shushed him saying, "No, Runergirl wants him." She told me her hubby wasn't yet crazy about the idea of another baby yet. I said, then I'd love to have her. She called the worker and she IS in a temporary home.

Here's the scoop on the parents. Dad has signed away rights at birth and none of his family want her. Mom is in prison for 15 years and not eligible for parole for at least 6 years. Mom's family wants nothing to do with her or baby. From what runergirl told me, there will be no visits.

No, I haven't heard from the worker yet, and I'm so anxious, because nothing is certain until the baby is actually turned over to your care.

Please send prayers.
