Once that is resolved and they are cleared then the foster family should help the child transition in a positive manner...and not fight the relative or go about it in a negative way. It's not about who wins, it's about the child...

And I hope, Helen, that you know I support you 100%, and totally think that your soon-to-be daughter is in the right home for her and very lucky to be there. I do absolutely believe that her foster parents acted inappropriately, although I know I was one of the original ones questioning you about why you were moving her, before I understood the whole story.
