So we did get our certification yesterday- woohoo!
The possible placements that I mentioned are still in respite care and a foster family has not been chosen. The DSS that is working to choose their foster family is in a city that is about 1 hr and 15 minutes away from our home, The private agency we are working with is about 45 minutes from our home. Our private agency called us today to let us know that even though the DSS in charge hasn't chosen a family yet their CW is interested in us and thinks we would be a good match for the kids, her only concern is the distance that the in-service workers would have to drive to our home. Our worker said that she doesn't want 'distance' to be the only thing that keeps them from a good match and wants to check to see if we could meet at a half-way point for 'in-service'- possibly at our private agency.
Has anyone ever done 'in-service' outside of the home?
What is the farthest DSS that you have received placements from?
Also, along these questions... I'm curious about visitation since both parents are currently incarcerated. (DSS is requesting TPR)
I'm just curious how would visitation would work with incarcerated parents if TPR is denied?
Thanks in advance
