I spent much of the morning making phone calls regarding the case.  It seemed as if every phone call I made gave me a bit more information than I had before.  Kind of like pieces to a puzzle. 

2 hours later and I managed to find 3 new leads as possible placements for the child!  That was the highlight of the morning!  I pray that one will be willing and suitable if necessary.

I have appointments set up this week to meet with the girl again and an appointment with the mother, basically to see how everyone is doing.

There is still plenty of work I need to do-phone calls to make, faxes to send, people to speak with, and copies of documents to obtain.  I am excited about all the information that is being gathered.  It helps immensely with the goal of a CASA…to place the child in the best possible environment.  Now I need to make sure I go over all the details with a fine-toothed comb so I get to know the case like the back of my hand.  Because out of everyone involved, I am the one who should be able to answer the ‘where’s’ and ‘why’s’.  And I plan on being able to do that, come court.
