It's coming up on one year since my kids were taken from me by DHS. By that point, the state of Oregon wants a plan in place--- either a "return to home..." or adoption.
Actually, they're being a little more lenient with me--- DHS is suggesting a third option: a durable guardianship.
I'm told that what this means is that I still have a chance to get my sons returned to me (not my daughter, since she has been adamant that she will not return home to me, although she has never explained why).
I know that this is a good thing... but I'm still hesitant, scared, wary.
My SIL will have complete control over my sons. Supposedly I have some say currently... and I will lose that. But I'm told by Anastasia that when I feel I am able to take care of my sons' mental and physical welfare as well as my own, I will be able to go to court to petition that they be returned to my custody.
Somehow, I'm reassured, the court will decide whether or not this is true, and my SIL will have no say in the matter.
But I still am afraid I will never get them back.
