Thank you, bebop (love the name, btw) I gave our attorney all their information and hopefully it helps. Thanx for the hugs.

UPDATE: This morning, we retained an attorney. I handed him a lengthy report that will hopefully help. The report contained everything included in my initial post in this thread, plus a lot of personal information concerning my kids and some additional information about how the CPS caseworker conducted things along the way.

It's possible that our baby may be able to come back home to me, soon. My two older children will undoubtedly remain in their current placement to finally receive the PROPER help that they need.

I'm SO ANGRY at the mental health facility that my children have been going to, all these years. I'm completely astounded and disgusted. The fact that their doctor had known everything and had NEVER BOTHERED to recommend intense therapy for my babies!! ALL these difficult years I've spent COPING and DEALING with their problems without an ounce of the kind of help they NEEDED! Many lives have changed because of this! AARGH!!! It makes me just want to friggen scream- I can't stand it. Sorry for the outburst, but jeez! C'mon, people.

Anyways... our court date is tomorrow afternoon. Various family members will be there. One is a possible candidate for the baby's placement, if needed. I'm both nervous and excited at the same time.

*biting nails*
Wish us luck.
