If I'm right here I believe the next hearing will be the fact finding in which they have to have done within three months of taking the children out of the home.
Did you go to the court hearing? Are you planning on going to the next one?
With our dd I went to every single hearing there was and our cw told the bios that I worked for her lol just so they didn't know that I was the foster mom. If you go to the hearings you will get all or most of the information about the case.
Do I think it's important to know what the other circumstances are other than what was stated before and then dismissed? Heck yes!
Will you get the information if you ask your cw? More than likely no. For some reason whether we like it or not cw's just don't think that we need to know everything and that's why I went to all the hearings.
If you have the opportunity to go then I would suggest you do it. Not only to get the facts straight but it's also nice to know how the system works and to see who all is involved with making the choices for your kids.
As far as her asking if you can adopt her, I wouldn't think that, that would be a normal question coming from a 13 year old. You've stated that this is their 3rd time in the system? I'm assuming that they went through 3 different homes each time so she is more than likely wanting someone to want her?? It's such a tough age to go through this kind of thing and she is probably scared of it happening again where she will have to get "use" to another family if this fails.
Again, this is just a guess on my part and maybe someone else on the board has more experience with this age than I do and hopefully will give you better advice or input.
