Thanks for the update. What a heart-wrenching story. I don't have all the back story, so I don't want to assume something hasn't been already considered. What an awful position to be placed in.
No matter what happens, Denise please keep a close eye on Lexi. If Maddie does have to go to her new home (sounds like a winner!) Kids can internalize things and take on some blame. Everyone loves Maddie, and of course Lexi is apt to take on some misplaced guilt for "losing her". You've got such a wonderful understanding of life, and I'm certain that you will use your "the REAL Plan" story to show her the "real" reason for Maddie's return. This can and will end up a beautiful story, no matter what the final decision. My heart goes out to you. Big Hugs! |
