You guys wanted to know how the visit went (with my little bro)?

Question

well, it was different. i didn't know what to expect (as i told you before, he's only 4). we were separated when i was almost 11, and he was 9 mo. i did as you advised, i bought him some toy cars and a rescue hero. he loved them. he came up to me as soon as we walked in and said "are you my sister that i lost?". somebody either told him about me, or he remembered me (not very likely, so it was probably the first one). then he hugged me, and i couldn't help but start crying and he said "i don't want to lose you again". then my parents started crying. after that they talked with the social worker while i played with him. it was in another room so i couldn't here what they were saying. then it was time to leave. i wanted to start screaming and say "no!!!! i don't want to go", but i didn't, and surprisingly, neither did he. he just started crying, and said "bye, Torrie". the social worker said we could come and visit him any time until he was placed with a new foster family.

Answer 1

I am so happy for you. I am sure CPS will do everything possible to encourage the current foster family to allow visits. You also do not have to make arrangements through the CPS. Your family and his foster family can get together anytime you want.

I certainly hope also that if he is free for adoption your family considers adopting him too.

Congratulations on finding him again. You have had enough losses in your life. Chin up and it certainly sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders.

Answer 2

Hi!  l just quickly read your other question, and l'm so happy for you and your little brother!  lt must have been such a relief to you to see he was happy and well looked after!  l really hope you get to keep in contact with him, l'm sure his new foster family will welcome that!  Have fun on your next visit with him, and keep your chin up!

Answer 3

I read your question yesterday and I am SOOO glad that you gave us an update.  I am do happy that every thing went well for you guys it must have been great.  I would try and talk to your parents maybe they will be able to adopt him but like someone else said try not to get upset if they can't.  As fare as him being placed in another foster home the agency can suggest that you guys stay in contact but they don't have to.  The only reason I tell you that is because I don't want you to get your hopes up.  I adopted a little boy and he has a 1/2 brother and we kept them in contact for a while and the other mother decided that she thought it was to confusing to her son so she decided to stop letting the kids see each other.  I do not agree with this decision I would LOVE for my son to stay in contact with his 1/2 brother so I am hoping the other mother will come around and change her mind.  Again I am SOOOOO happy for you and go see him as much as you can.  I do try to talk to your parents

Answer 4

That is wonderful.  I read your orginal post a few weeks ago and I am so happy that everything worked out so that you could see him.  I hope that you are able to mantain a relationship with him, wherever he ends up.  I'm sure any family that wants the best for him will help facilitate a realtionship between the two of you.  I am a foster parent, and I know that I would!

Answer 5

Thanks for updating us!  I'm SO glad that it went well, and I am teary-eyed with happiness for both of you.  Now, he'll always know that he's got a sister who loves him, and you can feel good about having found him and brought him back into your life.

Answer 6

I don't know if I answered your other question, but I know I read it. I'm sooo happy that it all went well and that you found him in the first place. aww, It's making me cry, I can see a little boy, crying, saying bye torrie, but just remember that you made his day. He'll remember you now, for sure. make him a little picture book of you, he can take it with him when he moves from place to place. Include all your vital information so he can always find you. ss# is the best way.

Answer 7

mention it to them maybe they will be openly receptive to that fact of bringing you two guys together. i didnt get to read your first story but from the follow-up story it sounds pretty sad but stay strong and continue to visit your brother

Answer 8

YEAH!!! i am so happy for you. talking to your parents is  a wonderful idea, but be understanding if they cant, children are a big responsibility,and it sounds like they have made room in their life for several already.

i hope you can keep in touch with him. you made my day, i have been waiting for your update ♥♥

Answer 9

I hadn't read your first posting...but I am glad to hear that your visit with your little brother went well.  I hope that his social workers can keep him in your area, they will also hopefully place him in a home that you will be allowed visits.  You may think about talking with your parents about talking with his social worker or yours to make sure that there is not anymore lost years between you guys.
