1st they are involation of federal law if you are a bio-relative and have requested him placed with you and not a non-relative foster home. SW are supposed to look for all friends and relatives to place children with.

Find out who these kids CASA worker or GAL are. They should have one. Request them to come and see the kid and ask why the sib is not placed with him? Do you have room to place the kids in separt rooms? DSS may say they can't place kids together as on is an offender. Are you getting kinship care money for the one you have?

You can also request that the worker and you have a conflict in personalities and you need another worker.

If you get the CASA worker or GAL on your side, you are safer then if you can't get anyone on your side. How are things going with bio-parents? Are they saying anything against you?

You never know what goes through the mind of an SW.
