Thanks so much for sharing your story. I am in the process of getting my nephew out of foster care. He is in WV and I am in FL. He was taken by CPS in Feb of this year. There is no hope of reunification with bmom or bdad both are into drugs and bdad has never done a thing for his son but made threats of hurting him or killing him. I am the only relative that wants him. Florida is so slow at getting things done. DH and I have started the MAPP classes last week, 9 more to go.
The fmom is great and we are in contact daily. She has been great at getting me info and she really wants him to be with us. He gets to spend 3 weeks with us in June and it is going to be so hard to send him back to fmom. He is happy there, this is the second home he has been in. The first home the fmom and fdad hit their own kids with a belt and scared my nephew that they removed him from the home but let these people keep other fkids. Seems crazy to me.
I have to call the local place to see if they got the paperwork for the ICPC yet. I have to stay on them. WV is ready to give him over, I just have to fight with FL. Bdad has agreed to sign his rights over if my sister doesn't testify against him and she has been willing to sign her rights over for the last month. She must have relized that she doesn't really want to be clean from drugs.
Thanks again for sharing your story, I need to hear more stories of relative placements.
