Yes I know I keep posting short posts but the spirit comes over me and I cannot help it.

Tonight I was telling Judson we were going to need to spend some time cleaning up the house this weekend because the social worker was coming on Monday for Turner's 1 year post placement. (Can you believe it's been 1 year almost?) Judson's comment: Did anyone come to visit me when I was born? Mom: No baby, we didn't have a social worker when you were born. Judson: Not even when I was a baby. Mom: Nope.

See the irony in all that? That any body can produce a baby and no one checks up on them. Even if the child is removed, they will spend months and years trying to put that child back in the same home(from which they were removed) while temporarily(forever) housing them in a foster home. Yet, we had endless numbers of FBI/GBI/Homeland Security/DHS checks run on us. (Not to mention the many medical exams and letters written on our behalf and many hours of classroom studies. Oh dont forget the septic tank inspections) Then we have numerous post-placement visits afterwards.

Not offering what should and should not be changed. Just saying, there's an irony about the whole thing that even a 6 year old can see.
