On June 1st CPS went to court to recommend that Jaiden come to live with us. Court was held around 1:00 pm or so and by 10:30 p.m. that night we had Jaiden in our home. The judge ruled that he immediately be placed in our home (even though we were not TECHNICALLY certified) or he would have to go to a group home until we were available.
Of course we said to bring him here. We did not want him to go anywhere else.
The CPS caseworker and Jaiden hopped on a plane and flew in to Abilene and drove to Aspermont.
When he got to our home he was exhausted. He had just fallen asleep.
He was terrified, scared and extremely sad.
They had yanked him from his Grandma and she really didn't get to say goodbye to him. I am sad for her about that.
He doesn't really talk much.
He's less verbal than Libby who is 19 months old.
Please pray for his speech.
By the next morning on Saturday he seemed to be doing fine.
He woke up.
No crying,
Ate breakfast.
Played with all the kids outside.
Did not stop until about 6:30 that evening.
He was like the energizer bunny.
So far he is a good sleeper.
Aunt Lauren brought him a toddler bed, but he was used to sleeping in a crib still.
We have to sit with him most nights until he falls asleep.
