Well, with a very long moment of silence the social worker tells me I can only answer questions about the baby, not the mom. I felt like a complete fool, and should of known better. I apologized for asking the question and jumped into telling her how the visit went. Everything seemed great after, but I sure felt dumn. I know better and I still did it, and to a new social worke at that!!! I am going to make sure and do a very good deed to make up for my stupidity!!

We were given a copy of our children's birth parents case plan and told exactly where they are at in the treatment plan. We are expected to keep confidentiality unless the other person involved has a "need-to-know" situation. In our state, this would include teachers or such. I told our son's teacher and school this year a little bit about his situation and stressed to them that we are fearful of an attempt to kidnap the kids at school because of the situation. So I guess our state is much more lax.
I'm glad our state isn't like yours. I truly feel like I'm a better foster parent because I am involved in the case and informed. And it will certainly make me a better adoptive parent, since I will be able to answer questions one day.
