yes I am taking it as great news too. My therapist said his therapist voicemail message to her said he "doesn't want visitation to start until he has some time for adjustment to the move" so the fact that the therapist directly addressed the idea of visitation says this is a good move for my son regardless of the reason - funds or meeting his goals. If it wasn't the therapist would have said visitation is not in the plans at this time like they have been in the past. I am very happy. Sounds weird but I keep bouncing between keep getting teary eyed, giggles and oh man what if's. but trying to stay planted on firm ground too. I don't expect visitation planning meetings to start for 4-6 months. Just the idea of changing from a therapeutic foster home to a normal foster care setting sent him over the edge requiring this past 8 months of inpatient care at the residential treatment facility. Now being released from the main facilities means he is no longer suicidal or engaging in self injury behaviors and hopefully it means he will not be attempting running away again either (at least for a bit). So we are one step closer and to think after all this time of not being able to talk to him face to face maybe by summer ... Butterflies, giggles, nervous energy you name it... its there and today I am very happy and love what I am feeling.
