The system is broken
I don't live in Indiana but did adopt two relative children who resided in Allen County and I can tell you that this is the reason the State has taken over cases.
And the sad part about all this is that they have no clue what they're doing! They made us jump through hoops for 3 yrs to get these kids out of foster care, even went so far as to get bio mom to voluntarily terminate rights promising to turn the kids over to me so they could be taken out of a dysfunctional foster home... 3 yrs is what it took them to do that, all the while the kids were being sexually abused, neglected, and denied medical care.
The state was given statements made by the kids when they arrived here but after so long, they threw the case out saying "cw believes children were abused, but the state finds no proof!"
The only thing I can tell you is that more people need to foster, and for the right reasons becuz I'm sure we've all seen foster homes who are literally falling apart and fp who don't care.
