Do you have to take your foster son back and forth to visits or can a transport worker do the driving? I'm in NJ and I was and still am a single working mom, so while I was at work, the transport SW would go to my son's daycare and pick him up and drive him to visits for me.
There were times when his bio mom did not show up and they would just drive him right back. After that, they required her to call by a certain time to confirm the scheduled visit on that day. If there was no call they did not pick him up. I never had to see his bio mom nor speak to her. I liked that because I could stay totally neutral and out of things.
I wanted to adopt my son of course but I knew that whatever happened in the end, was what was meant to be.
Can you ask about having a transport SW drive your foster son to and from visits? Or can ask if your child's bio mom can be required to call by a certain time on the day of the visit to confirm that she is going?
See, these are things you want to be able to ask for and have your SW take you seriously. If you fuss about all of the other things, the big things may be ignored or they may think, "Here she goes again." Know what I mean?
They must have transport SW's in your state, because there has got to be single or working parent families who are foster parents. I would check into that.
