You have a right to be very upset at the CW. She was extremely unprofessional. I would probably report her to her supervisor.
BUT the system did work. The CW did not remove this child. Child protection services did. They can not just remove a child for no reason. The reason appears to be incorrect, but the good news is the system worked and worked FAST. We do not always see this. If my foster children went back to good parents, I would be very happy.

In my opinion, do not believe everything the CW says. I normally wait and make my own opinions about the birth parents. Do they appear at visits? court hearings? are the children's medical needs being taken care of - etc.

Give yourself some time to reflect, but you did exactly what foster parents are suppose to. Take good care of children until they can be returned to their parents. Bre happy that he is going back to good parents!

also, whenever I take my foster kids to someone that their parents took the child too (doctor/dentist, etc), I play stupid about the parents. I do not mention the parents and answer no questions about them. I have ocassionally ask when the last time the office has seen the child, but that is it. I am not the reason the child was removed, so I try to be nuetral.
