I think that the OP just shows how much the Mom was not prepared to take the baby. That could be a problem with how the parent is prepared by the state for reunification. She should have been informed that she needed to have all the things necessary to have the baby including a crib, car seat, bottles and food.I would think that the state working with the parents for reunification would at least check to make sure they had the essentials at home already and that anything the foster parents sent would just add to what she had.
I will send home all the things the parents bought for her. They never brought anything from home because there was never anything there to bring. Any clothes I bought specifically for them(I also keep clothes I buy with my money even though they may wear them) Any toys that they are attached to or that I bought for them. Enough diapers/supplies for a two days and any special food they might need for two days.
To me the whole idea is that the parents know they are getting their children back so they have time to prepare for them and should have the things ready.
