Court was very uneventful. John was ordered into "Permanent Foster Care" to stay at McCrossan Boys Ranch until he turns 18. We do not have to go back to court for twelve months.
We had a staffing afterwards that was also very non-stressful determining what our next steps would be. Our kids who want contact with him will have to see a therapist first. He and I will have a session with a therapist before I visit with him again. it will be slow and gradual.
Everyone was in agreement that this was in his best interest, so there was no discussion. We're releaved but saddened that it can't be different. The bottom line is that he does have a family, just not one he can live with, and he always will. And that is more than a lot of kids in his situation have.
