Who will advocate for me?

My name is M. The only mom I know has held me in her arms since I was hours old. She and Daddy picked me up at the hospital when I was 48 hours old. I have lived with my brothers and mom and dad for over 3 years. I have walked my 1st steps, said my 1st word and rode my 1st bike at this home. Mom seems worried from time to time and I don't understand why.

She won't tell me but I think it has something to do with the lady that visits every month. My friends at school call me by a different name but when I ask mommy she assures me of my name. She talks in hushed tones to the lady that visits. The lady asks how we are all doing and tells mom that things are on hold. There is another lady they talk about but I don't know her. She sounds like she's had a lot of troubles, I hope someone can help her. The lady tells mom that "our case is difficult, that no one knows how much longer it will take". I don't understand what it all means but it feels yucky to mommy.

Mommy holds me a little extra tightly after the lady leaves. She sometimes cries when she doesn't think I'm watching. I wish it were all over and the lady wouldn't visit anymore. It seems to upset mommy but she tells me not to worry. I don't know why this takes so long, I wish someone could help mommy make this all done. Is there anyone helping mom and dad? It sounds like we have to wait longer. Mommy doesn't know how long, Daddy doesn't know how long, the lady doesn't know how long..... do you know how long I have to wait? If you do, would you please tell me and I'll whisper it to mommy and help her feel better.

Doesn't anyone tell the man in charge that we are still waiting? Does he even know we are waiting? Why does he make us wait when we've been waiting so long. I tell mommy it's ok, I'm glad she prays because we know God can take care of everything. Some people just have to wait longer, mommy says "God's timing is perfect". I don't understand, but maybe that's because I'm 3. When I'm 5 I might understand better. Until then, I'll hold mommy's hand and get bigger and stronger every day.
