Not good news
The judge we got assigned to is one of the biggest "keep families together" judges. custody was awarded to his aunt. But the bright note is that she has been estranged from the family for a long time due to all the abuse and disfunction with her brother (Ryan's dad). She didn't even know that his mother died last year and he was being bounced around. She's a social worker and lives outside Philadelphia. We actually had time to talk and she thanked us for being so willing to take him in. She promised to send updates and allow us to visit if we want. We're going to step back for awhile and let him settle in. We're sad, but hoping that he gets to heal.
Re: Not good news
Awww I'm sorry Leah! But, at least you can hope he's going somewhere stable now with someone that can actually take care of him like he needs! Fingers crossed that she is what he needs! Stepping back is probably best to let him adjust, but hopefully the aunt is also open to giving you updates even via email!
Awww this breaks my heart for you. And I know you are both disappointed but at least she seems to have it together. And the fact that she is a social worker makes me feel so much better about things. Glad she is going to let you guys keep in touch and she sees how wonderful you and your H are for even thinking of doing this for her family.
I'll be thinking about you!!!
I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out in favor of you & your H, but I'm glad to hear that if he's not with you he's with a family member who can provide him what he needs to deal with everything he's been through.
Now that you've gone through the process for Ryan will it make it easier for you to foster/adopt in the future? Maybe this was all meant to be so something else can happen.
This is what I was wondering too. I am hoping his aunt will be the supportive and loving person that Ryan has been needing in his life. Your actions certainly did not go unnoticed, and something good will come to you when the time is right.
I'm so sorry that things didn't work out!
It's good that his Aunt seems to have things together and it's also good that you'll be able to keep in touch with him.
((Hugs))

I'm sorry to hear you didn't get to take Ryan home with you, but it really sounds like it's working out in the best interest for him. I'm glad to hear that his aunt was so friendly and open with you and your husband.
Like a pp said, maybe this will open other doors for you in the future.
