I'm am a single FM in NJ
I have had 2 placements. D, 2 years old, was with me for over 6 months. I never facilitated his visits - his caseworker picked him up from daycare and returned him to daycare. It was not a problem for me or the child (though I guess only he can truly say that).
K,21 months, I just got last week. It will likely be a long placement (perhaps even adoption). I told the caseworker (before taking the placement) that I could not facilitate visits during the day. It was no problem.
FYI - DYFS paid $155/week toward his daycare. I had to pay a co-pay as the place that I chose (and came to love) was more than that amount.
Best wishes.
