Our 17, soon to be 18 yr old is signing herself out of foster care at the end of this month. Would anyone know if she has to petition the court to visit her siblings?

Well, I'm come to the conclusion that I will do whatever they tell me to do and that they will still probably terminate my rights anyway.

You keep saying that and it will come true. If you tell yourself that you won't get him back, then you have lost already.

update: just got the message that the younger 4 were removed friday. the 16 and 4 yr old in one home and the 1 yr old and the baby in another. I had hoped that the 16 yr old would be grouped with the baby and that the 4 and 1 yr old would be grouped together, but beggers can't be choosers. At least ...

Update to date: We had our SPR with the foster agency yesterday(it is hard to digest all that happened). We went in thinking we wouldn't be heard. Turns out we were so wrong. There sat the facilitator, the case worker, her old supervisor and her new supervisor, and one of the foster parents. (The ot...

First and foremost, as most of the more experienced on this board will say, you DON"T have to let them in your house again. You DON'T have talk to them without your lawyer present.(In fact, they usually run when they hear the word "lawyer") And if you do let them in, DO take notes and...

Because you don't live, or dress, the way they do you have to be mentally insane. These people are not doctors nor do they hold any form of a medical degree. Yet, they like to hand out psychotic diagnosis like its candy just to justify their misguided sense for having a superiority complex

We was in Arkansas up until a yr ago. The attorney general's office handles most of the complaints about government services in Arkansas. And they have excellent bedside manners.

What to wear at night? I would ask you if you were serious but these days......

To answer question #3 This is what they got us on. By their interpretation, yes a (insert finger quotes here)messy(and here) house is a crime. It constitutes, at least in our case, child endangerment. We had clothes on the floor around a laundry bag because we were getting ready to do laundry, empty...

As in an affidavit in to what really happened and not what CPS dreamed up? Yes. And on the advice of a friend who "grew up" in the system and fought the system in adulthood for her own children, we are considering writing a letter to the judge. Mainly because we don't feel our, the whole f...

I have been telling myself that is why she hasn't been coming to the visits. That it was too emotionally pain for her to come and spend four hours a week with her mother only to go and live in someone else's house(that and a few other emotions) She is having trouble dealing with all of this. The soc...

The case worker told me that my daughter told the foster mother that she wanted to hurt herself because of the letter. And I don't know what she told the hospital because I was never told she went to the hospital until today. I had it given to her Monday so I can only assume that all this happened M...

Since my 16 yr old refuses to come to visits or take calls from me-for whatever reason- I decided to write a letter stating that I missed her and I love her and that if she wanted, she can call either me or my father(who is concerned about her, as well). Well today, after a monitored call with the t...

Well I don't know how we did it, but my husband managed to convince the doc that he was suffering from adjustment disorder due to ACS involvement(yes, it is written in the psych eval) and I managed to come out clean. The therapist had to harass his boss into giving me Adjustment disorder so ACS woul...

Not too sure how long ago the case was but it can be found on Youtube. I just watched it. It's in two parts.

"perfectly flexible jobs." Hmmmm... think ACS would hire me?

Well,I could work nights. Apparently I don't need to sleep.

Here's a funny... Our weekly schedule is something like this: Monday we take a 3 hr trip to visit our kids for 2 hrs only to take another 3 hr trip home Tuesday we take a 1.5 hr trip to our 1.5 hr parenting classes, then take the 1.5 hr trip home. Wednesday, a 2 hr trip to a 2 hr support group for f...

Call their bluff? Not a bad idea. My husband has already asked his attorney to ind out who the lead detective was. No answer yet. As to the service plan. I have had to ask my husband to clam down when it comes to our case planner, before she starts asking for anger management classes. He has been fl...

Family court today. Some sort of service conference. ACS is still investigating the sexual abuse allegations, even though they were given until today to substantiate. They keep saying the police are involved and still investigating. Haven't seen hide nor hair of them in since this started. The famil...

Our criminal pre-trial was this morning and the judge was a little confused as to why we were still in front of him. He asked where the kids were and if we were complying with family court and seemed happy with the answers he got. Scheduled for fact finding trial in June. My lawyer told me that at t...

forgot to mention, the 16 yr old's GAL petitioned the court to have separate visits with me, and after rolling her eyes the judge agreed. at the last visit, I asked when those visits would start and was told that they won't because she wrote a letter to the case worker stating that she doesn't wish ...

My mother-in-law is hell on wheels. Apparently she has called(and isn't finished) NY senators, congressmen, borough presidents mayors CPS workers, as well as former Arkansas governors(she is from AR), yelling and screaming about the injustice being committed against her precious son and his wife. On...

Well, our oldest has been moved from that home into a much nicer, more tolerant home. She was a LOT less stressed this visit than the previous. Now if we could get the others out. Momoffor There is a Jewish foster care agency up here(I just found it two days ago), I just never thought to call them b...

Wow so many questions, lol The 1028 was introduced in staten island. we , my husband and I were assigned court appointed(18B?) My landlord was attempting to switch realty companies(no, he isn't trying to get rid of us). the other company sent an appraiser whom, we believe, made a call to 911 claimin...
