New Info About the Baby
The baby has just been placed with Sunny's foster mom, and is quite healthy and doing great. Sunny's grandmother was the motivation behind this. She trusts the foster mom.
Sunny's foster mom thinks that if everything goes really smoothly, we might be looking at six months to a year before getting placed with Sunny's baby brother. Out-of-state fostering means a lot of paperwork.
And then I also just got secondhand info that the baby's father is not the same as Sunny's! This was contrary to everything I'd been told, and makes the situation a LOT more complicated. The father and his family will have to be tracked down to make sure they can't or won't take custody.
We'll just have to be philosophical and wait it out and work with whatever happens. I'm not going to run out and buy a crib or anything.

There are so many variables that what you are doing is good...because the baby has a different dad there could still be family members that could come out of the woods to lay a claim...still...it could very well happen...life is so unpredictable!
Haven't been by in quite awhile, and my oh my, Sunny has been through so much this past month and year. I really feel for your kid. So many losses... and now you find out that his new gain - a baby brother, has a different father, which may make it impossible if that side of the family desires custody. (Sigh)
Wish you and your husband well in navigating through all this.
