The court has given us custody. A DHS worker comes every week to check on the children. She did tell me last week that she had put in for a waiver so she would only come once a month. She told me that this could go on for over a year. The mother has over 500 neglect charges against her at this time. As far as her paying anything, she has never had a job up until last week. She worked 3 days and then called in sick and I don't think she has gone back. She and all 4 children were living in a travel trailer with no running water and one bed so the courts have said that she has to maintain a job and housing before they would even consider letting the children go back. I know that the girls would be fine staying with us forever, but the little boy is the one that just brakes my heart. She really plays on his emotions. We do have a lawyer. I don't know if anyone is familier with CASA, but the lawyer is free for us and the children. She has really worked hard for the kids and us.
Do you think us going through the foster care program would benefit us at all?
