Good News & Bad News - Its The Same News
Cookie's biomom is AWOL. That's right - she left the treatment facility. We don't know if she ran, or if she checked herself out against doctor's orders, but she's gone. No one knows where she is.Saavy little thing though - she left before they had a chance to serve her with papers on the upcoming TPR.
So, now they either have to prove that her lawyer had a chance to tell her about the upcoming court date - thus proving "due notification", OR if they can't do they they will have to 1) find her within a week, or 2) hire an invesitgator to try to find her and notify her. If is it #2, s/he will have 90 days to document that he tried to find her. If it's #2, it will hold up the process by another 3 months. Let's all pray her probabtion officer finds her - and fast.
She likely won't go far - she's probably just looking to shoot up. The probabtion officer knows right where to look.
So, the bad news is that she is at a greater risk of overdosing, and dying.
The "good news" in all this, is that is creates even more of a "slam dunk" case if you will for us and Sugar Cookie.
The "bad news" is that Biomom is really bad off. When/if she is found, she will go to jail because this is also a violation of her probation. More bad news is what she is doing to herself physically. She probably feels she has little left to live for. But she was in the best place she could possibly have been. I guess it just wasn't enough.
This is the extreme of happy/sad - another addict out there who is at the edge, another baby who will soon have a forever family.
I hated to come in to work after the meeting with R. this morning where I learned what has transpired. I just wanted to sit there and hold my Cookie - my Mia Elizabeth, my love, my miracle.
