I know I have been very remiss in my blogging. That is because so much has happened in my life and I didn't know how or where to begin speaking about it or if I wanted to for a bit.
I had mentioned a bit ago that things had not been going well with my sister an her boyfriend who have a little girl. Well in the middle of April things really started going badly. The ministry of children and family development (mcfd) approached me and asked if I would start having my niece stay with me every weekend to give her parents a break. I of course said yes and was so happy that I had the nursery setup already! So for the month of April she started staying with me on the weekends and for things like the long easter weekend this ment four days.
At this point my sister and her boyfriend were issued an eviction notice from their apartment for the end of April. The plan that was formed by the mcfd was for my sister to live in the local safe home and her boyfriend was going to stay with friends, basically couch hop. Obviously this along with many other concerns in the home that had been happening made me and my family very concerned. So I approached my sister and her boyfriend and told them that if they wanted I would look after my niece for as long as they needed me too. They agreed and unknown to them the mcfd was also very pleased as they were about to step in.
So since April 29th I have had a darling 20 month old (now) little girl living with me. My life has changed in so many ways. But more to come on all the emotional and paperwork and so much more that I am going through.
