I'm not sure how far along she is, but she's only just found out, so I'm pretty sure the newborn will come to us. TBH I expected it to happen in the future, because she's only just 18, but I didn't expect it to be so soon! There's no question in our minds though, that if she is pregnant and does give the baby up, we will take it. It's going to be a heck of a learning curve though! I have had experience with both age groups though, with my various niblings (love that word). Even down to the sleeplessness a newborn brings, when my sister has been sick.

The current placement family keep reassessing every 3 months, so now that the care worker can say they've got somewhere for her to go, I'm sure they'll keep her until then. As far as I've been told, the reason she's moving on is because they are an older couple who were only doing short term care, there's not actually a problem. Just today I got a call from my doctor to come in and help with the medical records part of the application, so I've been in and done that, and hopefully after chatting with my case worker yesterday, they'll be speeding things along.
