Well, at this moment they are on the fast track for home. Instead of transferring the case to adoption, the court & county gave mom a 6 month extension.
To my surprise this does not mean they will be in our care for the next six months. The county is hoping to start overnight visits as early as Christmas and then fast track them home by January or February.
I am told this also depends on counselors clearing mom, which hasn't happened yet.
We have slowly started to let them go, if only a little. Our kids are fully aware and we have promised a fun weekend away for our family if and when they leave.
The hardest part of letting them go is knowing the case could change at any moment. I think it is pretty universal that we want to have a plan for our lives and our future. In the world of foster care, there are no guarantees.
So for now, our boys' room is full of 3. Only God knows for how long.

A journey such as yours always has an uncertain destination, we can only pray the courts are truly guided by compassion and what is ultimately right for the children. You have done a wonderful job with the challenges you face, and I am sure God will provide you and your family the strength to grow from this experience.
Yes, the world of foster care is always an unknown about the future. What is know is the love that the boys are getting right now <3 Prayers for the boys, their bio mom and your family. Oh yeah and prayers for the judge!
