Custody battle, nearly overwith

Well, my brother has custody of his daughter now. I am not sure if it is full custody or not (her mother is still allowed to call her to talk, supervised by my brother), but at least she is home.

However, her brother is still in foster care in Iowa. Apparently because my brother isn't "foster parent" qualified, he cannot take custody of his daughter's brother, because he is not his blood relative. The only good thing about him staying in foster care is it means he's not being given back to his mother. And the foster mother is a decent woman, and the boy has improved many times over since being given to her care.

Eventually I hope that maybe my brother can get custody of his daughter's brother as well, as he is technically the only father that boy has known his entire life. His own blood father relinquished all parental rights before he was even born. (his mother is a manipulative bitch who was purposely getting pregnant by miltary men to "trap" them... the other guy washed his hands of her completely, but my brother fell for her ploy, hook, line and sinker... she ended up running up all sorts of credit cards in his name, ran him $50K in debt in a matter of weeks...)

But anyway, it's good to know he at least got his daughter. She's certainly much happier for it.
