(((hugs))) and prayers. Do the children have a GAL or a CASA? The ombudsman may or may not be helpful.
Sadly you have put your finger exactly on the problem; policy trumps common sense. Decisions need not be in the 'best interest of the child' (hate that phrase) and they need not meet what is vital for the child to do well and thrive or even be safe, as long as the cw's and supervisors follow policy to the letter. Most people on this board have horror stories of the people within the child welfare system actively and consistantly choosing to throw children away. Literally.
Will be praying that you and your family are able to make the best decisions in this situation.
