Well, tonight, Christi wanted us to sit down with her so she could tell us how scary it was.... She said that “When she was so sick, that Satan kept telling her that she was going to Hell with him, and she was scared. But that she then all of a sudden saw Jesus, and he comforted her and told her to tell Satan that she knew who he was and that he was a loser.” And she kept saying it until she was sure he was really gone.<<<
That does not surprise me at all, I have heard similar stories before.
You were right, in fighting down the social worker, for they are among the most brainwashed, in my opinion.
As a past foster parent, I have worked with all kinds.
Our prayers will continue, and I am so thankful that they helped, for at times there is nothing stronger that prayer for one who is ill.
Keep us posted and be aware, the social worker may decide to keep an eye on you and can still cause you trouble.
A prayer of thanks, for I am so thankful she is home.

LOL - I don’t think she will - You see, the adoption counselor has way more title letters after her name than the one at the hospital does..... Also, since she kept saying that she had experience working in Child Protective Service, I then said well, then you should know J.... S.... my SIL’s Grandmother - she was in charge of all intercessions for CPS, maybe you need to talk to her as she knows Christi and her situation quite well... All she could say was Ummmm I don’t know, I was over in another State... I then told her that maybe since she is here now, she might have encountered SIL’s mother who manages all day care inspections for 2/3 of the state and she is intimately aware of the situation and conditions...
Granny, I definitely got the impression that she didn’t want to touch it with a 10 foot pole... Once the position was made, I was nice as pie....
She did keep repeating Hillary’s famous ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ 5 times... I finally informed her that the origin of that was the African village, that consisted of mostly extended family....... What she should be saying is that it takes a whole family and a caring community to properly raise a child.... State Agencies are NOT a viable substitute... State workers come and go - what she really needs is the stability and continuity of a whole family. See, told ya I unloaded...
Seriously though, there are sufficient BIG guns that would quash most anything she would come up with...
She had called the school and said they had decided which school would be appropriate for her - Then I informed her that that school was for the disruptive, deportment problems who were juvenile delinquents in training - NOT where she needed to be - and told her that we had checked it out... She could only say OH, I didn’t know that... I then told her of 2 other schools in the district that might be partial answers if needed, but each of them were lacking in certain areas for a good education for her unless we relegated her to menial work for the rest of her life and she agreed that that wasn’t in her best interest... I then told her that Dr. H.....’s (School Districts placement person) best contribution would be in testing and evaluation services to best benefit Christi, and to help us with her education...
Sooo, don’t worry, Son of Chief War Horse doesn’t intimidate nor give up very easily.... LOL
