Thanks
I am very frustrated. YES, I even get angry at times. I try to use these emotions to push me to get something done. The feeling fades and I have written tons of letters, etc. Researching codes and cases that are similar or even the opposite type has been a big job. I do reserve these feelings for adult conversations and not with the children. Thank you for your concern. I am aware that children pick up on our feelings. It is unfortunate that things are like this right now.
I am a writer and write a LOT.......
By that I mean journaling is a way to release some tension and work out my feelings. So you guys sometimes get to see that in action. Sorry for the undertones or the OVER tones at times
This is so WRONG that I worry about my nephew. I even worry about the other children in the world who may face similar situations. How many have been lost to their families? How many SWs have had their own agenda and lied in court to serve their own purpose? I may be an idealist but isn't the law suppose to mean something? Even better yet, isn't the child more important than someone's idea of what they want done? Family is important, if the biological family has done what they need to.............been approved......are safe...........follow the law...........they should get preference as per family code.
I am still working all ends here and will do that for a while. The .26 hearing is the 19th, I will get visits, and we shall see. The AG (Attorney General) should be with us when we go.........and you know I have asked the TOP guy in this case to get them there.
I received the reports today and so far it is a lot of opinion. The facts and the law are what count.
It makes me ill to see that you have gone through this, previous poster, it is awful. I would not wish this on anyone. I am VERY happy that your relative is out of their care and home with you
THANKS for hanging in there, I know it is a tough road. It seems so endless, so many ups and downs. One day I am hopeful and the next I want to settle for visitation for him..............BUT I do know that would be very difficult. I don't think the foster parents are willing to make visits easy on me. Sad, I love him so. I realize they care or love him too. The just has to be a better system to this............
More community pressure needs to be exerted. I know that is the ONLY reason we have come this far...............so back to my soap box
