Christina called Tyler's mom yesterday and she thinks that Tyler staying with us is a great idea! She agrees that he needs a lot of help that she can't give him. She was actually wondering what to do with him because she has two other children and she wants to move into an apartment by herself. She doesn't have the time or money for all three. We're so excited! Some of the things she said were pretty disturbing, though. She said he had seizures when he was a baby and that's why "he's so stupid". She fights with the school all the time because she wants him to be in the mentally disabled classes at school but the school disagrees. THAT'S BECAUSE HE'S NOT MENTALLY DISABLED!!! I think we could help him so much!
Here's the bad new.... We have to get court appointed guardianship to enroll him in school here. I think the only way to do that is to have parental right taken away. I don't necessarily want that to happen. I called an attorney and they said it usually costs $2000-$3000 to transfer guardianship. I really hope we can do it!
Christina feels that this is what she is here on earth to do! She's always said that she wants foster kids. We've already picked out his bed and bought him tons of clothes! We're so excited! Wish us luck on the guardianship part!

Oh wow, I'm so happy for you two! Older children can bring just as much joy to your life as a baby can, and I'm so glad you have this amazing opportunity. Congrats!
