switching from DHS to private
Re withholding info, you can request to review the entire case file before you commit to taking the child for foster care.
My two cents is that working with the county DHS has been an absolute nightmare. I am in Northern Cal. It took 8 months to get licensed, and now no placements for the last 3 months. I believe the Counties are overworked. More importantly, an agency has access to children in other counties. You are limited to the particular county with the DHS. Plus, your license is not transferable. You have to do all training, homestudy,etc. over again. By the way, I was offered a 5 month old infant. However, I had told them we wanted an older child - so the whole process is screwed up.
