I just finalized the adoption of my daughter's two children on Friday, and I have to say there are elements of your case that remind me of the hell I went through. My daughter has had a drug habit for years and my husband and I dealt with the denial of just how bad it was for most of that time. I wo...

I don't know where you are (or if it varies by state) but in California, you have 60 days to appeal the termination of parental rights before the paperwork can be filed to the state requesting the child be freed for adoption. You must not miss this 60 day deadline or I think you have no other option...

One last post script...the foster home that CPS wanted to have adopt my grandchildren, the one where my grandson said "mommy hit me with a shoe." Well, for at least six months my grandson would talk about "bad mommy." He talked about her hitting him, punishing him and once even c...

I haven't posted anything in about a year, but wanted to bring anyone that might read this up to date and maybe give someone hope to continue fighting. Despite the continued objections of our local CPS office, the Family Court Judge placed my grandchildren with my husband and I 4/28/11. He told them...

I haven't posted in a while, but we have a court date coming up next week for permanent placement. I had the administrative hearing on my CACI and, contrary to what every social worker told us, we beat it. My "substantiated" hit was reduced to "unfounded" which is no small task. ...

I wish I could be more helpful, but many of your questions are way beyond anything I have had personal experience with. It certainly makes sense to me that they don't like to send children across state lines because then the workers (or "God" as I believe they refer to themselves) probably...

If you can afford an attorney definitely get one. I am in the middle of a CPS nightmare pertaining to my grandchildren. CPS will walk all over your rights (because we don't know our rights) and will lie to you constantly. An attorney can advise you of your rights in Washington and can intercede, for...

I am in the process of requesting that my older daughter be named de facto parent of my younger daughter's children. Like you, I live in California. We have an attorney who is filing for us but I can give you the info that I have. The two forms that are being filed are a JV-295 De Facto Parent Reque...

I am a grandmother to a 1 year old girl and a 3 year old boy who were taken from may daughter 10/09 because of drug abuse. We live in southern California. My older daughter has been foster mom to the children for just over a year. Within a few months of the onset of this situation we all saw that th...
