Foster parents are helping the entire family, whether or not the family chooses to acknowledge it.
i couldnt agree more max.
but i do have a question for uboe42. It just struke me odd that you would come to a 'foster support' forum, but spit all over the system.
I'm sure when you were in your classes, they told you that the goal was having the child placed back with bioparents.
Im really not sure why you went out of your way to join a site for fostering support, only to spit on the foster system.
"sorry we took you baby, we thought you might have been deadbeats”.
i just find that very odd for a SW to say this to the parents.
any child removed due to abuse or neglect, isnt as easy as you might think. who reported the couple in the first place?
someone had to say something, SW's are looking for children...there are usually reports of neglect/abuse and then the paperwork starts...
I'm not saying this didnt happen, but this is NOT the norm by any stretch of the word.
what a horrible first time experience...
but i dont think it was the system that failed or to blame, if what you write is true, then it was some family member who is at fault. the one who called in the allegations....
