Here I sit, at 2:00 AM. My DS woke me up because his nose was stuffy. I have taken care of my little bean and he is back in bed. (Little??? HA HA HA HA HA HA...he is 10 years old!)

I doubt I will be able to go back to

. I have to go to court today over my niece. She is not going to live with us anymore. It is a long, sad story. I have carried her through this horrible journey for almost a year now but it is time for her to go somewhere else where she can get more intensive care. It is time to get my family back to normal.

I am sad. I am releaved. Then I feel fear as she has become as almost one of my own. But, I have to let her go to get her the

she needs and to protect my own. Like I said, LONG STORY. I guess I better go lay back down and try in just a little bit. Please keep us in your

ers.

Lulu, I can understand your feelings on this but you have to do what is best for all concerned. I

things went well in court for you all today.
Your feelings will be mixed I am sure but in the end, you will have done the right thing for everyone.

Go get some rest now.

Lulu,

I am new to the boards, just getting my feet wet you could say. So obviously, I know absolutely nothing of your situation. I do know how much stress families can have on them. My sister used to cause alot of that stress on our family. If we had actually gotten her the

that she so desperately needed, maybe she would be a better "grown up". In the end, your niece will most likely

. It sounds to me like you love her and are truly looking for her best interests as well as those of your own children. :O) (We are raising my niece, she is 12, but she has been with us since she was five months old). If you ever need to talk, feel free to holler my way.

Thank you so much. Today was very difficult. I had brought all of her things to give to her. I even brought some books inside for her to read while we were in court. I wish I had been as fortunate to have had her since a baby, maybe it would have been easier? Who knows? I can only

that things will work out. Thanks for the words of encouragement.
