Guardian Ad Litem

This week Jellybean met his Guardian Ad Litem (GAL). This is a person assigned to him through the courts to be an objective observer within the court system for the best interest of the child. They meet the foster parents, birth parents, and spend time once a month with the child. I imagine that it's more helpful and important to spend time with the child when they are able to talk about their experiences, but maybe they also read minds?

His GAL is a Gal, a trained volunteer. She will observe compile, and make suggestions to the court when decisions are being made there. Roman met her while I was at work- I'm so jealous!
