As if the drama couldn't get any worse....(update on niece)
Hey ladies,
Here's an update on my niece and my SIL (N). Because DH and I will be selling our house this year and moving for grad school we decided that it would not be the best idea to take our niece into foster care. Another SIL and BIL (L&B) have decided that they will foster her and are willing to adopt her if she cannot go back to DH's sister, which after more recent developments, is more likely than not the case. They have started the process, and should have her in their home in a little over a week. This will be great because she will finally start to be socialized as they already have 2 kids. However, our niece's boyfriend (A) does not get along with "B" at all, but as of right now they do not know that they will be fostering our niece.
However, there are more developments in this story that have left me incredibly conflicted, very disappointed with certain members of DH's family, and incredibly angry at others. I don't want to put too much on the internet, but if you FB message me or send me a PM on here (let me know if you do!), I'm more than willing to share the updates so you have specific things to pray for.
My family needs soooooo many prayers right now it's not even funny. Thank you all for your support in all this. I really do appreciate it :-)

Re: As if the drama couldn't get any worse....(update on niece)
I'm very glad to hear that other family members are able to take her. That is definitely the best thing for her. Do y'all live close so you and/or the rest of the family can support them?
Feel free to PM me if you need to talk about the other stuff. But I'm very very glad you found a home for her!
I was going to page you this morning to see if there was an update on this situation. I'm so glad that another SIL/BIL is able to take her in and is willing to adopt her, if needed. It sounds like that part of the story is working out for the best for everyone involved!
Please feel free to PM me too if you need to talk about the other stuff.
I am so glad that your BIL and SIL can take in your niece. I understand how you guys have a lot on your plate right now. Are you able to visit her? I think being so young, it won't make that much of a difference being adopted, and it will turn out better in the end!
You're more than welcome to PM me the details too if you'd like!

Erin - I'm so glad you guys were able to figure out something that was great for everyone involved, especially your little niece. It will be nice for her to be in a house with other kids. I'll keep your family in my T&Ps. It sounds like such a stressful situation and I can't imagine what you guys are going through.
Keep me updated. I'm praying for a very happy ending to all of this drama!

I am so glad that another family member has decided to take her in and possibly adopt her. Hopefully that all works out very well for her. T&Ps for your family as you go through this difficult time and transition.
