We know he's a bumbling fool, in so-so (or worse?) health, barely able to speak a single coherent sentance or comprehend when he's spoken to, really old, and the father of 13 children he didn't raise. I think he sees this whole thing as a game that he can win. Probably the only time in his life where the system is on his side, and he can get the prize (being granted custody) if he just shows up and plays along. <BR/><BR/>It seems that everyone and their brother is being invited to this next meeting - the Occupational Therapist, the dad's DV counselor that fostermommy mentioned, and I feel like there was another one we heard of recently... I dunno. It'll be better than the last meeting, when there was just the case-workers, the dad, and us (with the baby). The head of the agency who runs the meeting was sick, and the Early Intervention coordinator went to the wrong location so she didn't show up.
