That's frustrating that the CW thinks that it's in her best interest. I will also say that I think relative searches can really be a joke. Supposedly one was done with biomom's first child in our case.

I am a relative, but can tell you that our little one was jerked around like crazy. By the bio mother rather than DCS; but I believe it harmed her deeply. I suppose it was better than if her biomom had had her the entire time, but still.

Our number one concern was that she not be moved unnecessarily. However, the other thing about relative placement, is that the closest relative has priority. Which isn't necessarily a good thing.

It's not that I don't think relatives should have an opportunity, it's just that their rights shouldn't take precedence over the child's.

Thanks for letting me vent.
