Re: Parent Aides, friend or foe?

Obviously, you have the right to disagree with anything stated by the foster parents or the parent aides. It is your original question that I was confused by, as you were asking how to deal with parent aides that are friends with foster parents. I guess I could have more clearly answered the questi...

Re: Parent Aides, friend or foe?

I most certainly do, I feel all should be on good terms. Very good. I am referring to a one sided situation with lies among other things going on with intent to do harm as far as the best interest of the children. I have every respect for FP and others involved in any case, but good FP and aides do...

Re: Parent Aides, friend or foe?

How do you handle Parent Aides that are friends and are friends of friends with the Foster Parents and they write reports that are totally wrong. What difference does any relation to the foster parents make? Indeed, many foster parents are also visit supervisors or parent aides. I understand the po...

Re: Lost, everything about case seems unethecial/illegal

I am a foster parent, so I thought I'd address your foster parent questions. How do you battle FP that pick and find fault (falsely) with every visit. I'm presuming that the foster parent is acting as the visit supervisor and/or parent aide? Otherwise, the foster parent(s) should not be critiquing t...

Re: RE-Instatement of Parental Rights Limited

To anyone: What are the options for those of us who do not live in states that do not have a law to re-instate parental rights? I think you meant the opposite of what you asked. But you may want to clarify. Interpreting your question literally (removing the double-negative), you are asking what the...

Re: Gone to the news with story regarding CPS

My son was an adult living on his own with his girlfriend who was also an adult. That makes all the difference in the world. You have no obligation to protect an adult child. If he got into drugs, gangs, etc. as an adult that is not your responsibility. I am left wondering why the state did not imm...

Re: MY NIGHTMARE

Let's see if I can understand this. You are upset that custody of your son was given to his father, who was employed (at least some of the time) and had a home, but you suspect him of abuse and neglect - but you went back to him anyway for a time. You've been on drugs, welfare because you didn't fee...

Re: Presence & use of drugs is NOT grounds for dependency

Is it case law for the entire country, or just for the 1rst district? I would think it would have to be a US Supreme Court ruling, for it to apply to the entire country. But I could be wrong. I agree with you Family Man; this would be only over the 1st district. Indeed, I think it's even more restr...

Re: kinship poor finiances

Hypothetically, the foster reimbursements cover all necessary expenses of childcare borne by the foster parents. So, again hypothetically, your question presupposes something that isn't so; that they fail to cover the expenses. As a foster parent I'm with you. The reimbursements cover perhaps half o...

Re: missing child visits due to reasons not caused by parent

As far as what the law is, I would advise that the parent address that question with his or her lawyer. My experience in this regard has changed. It used to be that visits missed due to circumstances with CPS, transportation, and visit supervisors, were made up at a later date and time. More recentl...

[size=120]The state could pay for that child care solution, and it would be a huge cost savings because the cost of having a child in foster care and all the "services" that go with it is much more than the cost of actually helping the family and keeping them together. No doubt that would...
