The big family news is that my sister and BIL are getting back the kid they fostered some years ago and have kept in touch with. He's been bounced around between his parents, grandparents and other foster homes, but nothing is sticking. The parents can't keep off the meth and keep failing their drug tests. The grandparents bit off more than they could chew taking him in. The foster family he's with right now is keeping his brother but didn't want to keep them both because they don't get along well. So the agency asked my sister if they'd like him back and they jumped at the chance, because they fought to keep him initially. So he's going back to them on Monday, with an eye towards making this permanent down the road. He should be in town for Thanksgiving with them, it'll be the first time I've seen him in maybe 8 years?
