Yup it was! The run down looks something like this:
The county suggested the judge not grant it under these circumstances given that A has already been moved to a concurrent home(bio dad has RU services-news to me) Judge firmly said this child was born on this date, placed with me on this date and just moved on this date, so other than the 2days he spent in the hospital this is the only home he has known. She asked the attorney if we would be a suitable adoptive placement and she said yes, then judge granted the De facto status and told me that if anything happen with the current placement(which I KNOW IT WONT) then he will be returned to us. So now I can attend all the court hearings. Im not sure WHY? Cousin hasnt contacted me once since driving away with him, Im not sure if she even will(I doubt it). I will not have any visits with him or any contact with him atall...but yet I will be his De Facto Parent. Im confused.

Okay, what's the point? It doesn't seem like there's going to be anything happening to the cousin placement since she was allowed to take physical custody...my heart aches for you.
Weird. I guess it's good to know that you'll be a party to the case, should anything happen, but the reality is it probably won't matter...
Unless that can be used to get visitations, if you want to?
Of course it is a long story...but, our twins were with us for a year, back with birth mom for a year and then returned to us for good. We became de-facto parents so this would happen, if needed, again.
It also means, generally, that you should get copies of court type paperwork. It keeps you in the know- not a bad thing, as long as all is going well.
