We finally have firm dates (and plane tickets) for Cookie's trip. Her stay was cut down to 8 days at the request of CPS and really, we're just glad she's coming.

We also don't go back to court until February since it would appear that mom won't have housing in time for the January court date. But she could give birth anytime from late January/early February onward.

At this hearing, the judge asked if our intention was still to adopt Cookie if mom couldn't complete her case plan. I think he sees that progress is not coming along as well as it should've by now.
