It is hard for me to wrap my mind around people being suppportive of bparents full rights in cases where there's proven severe physical and emotional abuse w/ children living in horrifying conditions though. (Like our FS) "My child is physically scarred, mentally and developmentally behind, but by God I want this,this,this,etc." I'm completely baffled. I'm really trying to understand as I read different posts. I appreciate the different forms of insight.

Absolutely agree. If they have "temporarily" lost custody of their children, they have also lost many rights. Not all of course, but many. When they work their plan and get the kids back, they can take them anywhere they want to get any kind of haircut they want.
