Funny you mention a bonding assessment. Our attorney there while we were fighting the system to have her placed with us mentioned a possible bonding assessement. He said it could backfire though because our niece was living with the FP's for 8 months before we hired him therefore most likely they would win. He suggested we don't do it and that we try and wait to see what happens when CPS made their decision on placement. And considering the counselor was on the FP's side we didn't feel like it would work in our favor and may have hurt our case.
