The battle so far.

Went to see the potential foster family today. And while I still hope it won't come to that, I can't honestly find a single fault with these people. They seem down to Earth, practical, kind, understanding and more than willing to work with us to make things best for Pea. So if it comes down to it, I wouldn't be worried letting Pea stay with them.

That said, our social worker was surprisingly willing to reconsider the matter. He says he'll call some people about re-evaluating and then get back to us later this week. He seems to think there's a chance I could win. Given what he knows now he still maintains that foster care would be best, but he's willing to get new information, and he gladly listened to my reasons why I believe my way is a better choice.

I spoke with Pea's daycare, and all they could say was that from what they could tell, Pea is doing great. Whether that's down to one thing or another they couldn't say. But they had nothing to pin on my efforts at least.

B is very hesitant, but I think given enough time he'll agree that this will be best for all of us.

So it's in the hands of our social worker for now. And while I wait to hear back from him I'll call some more people and gather some more support.

Onwards into battle!
