Well, we looked into getting an attorney but didn't have enough time before the police interview. I didn't really feel like we needed one..at least not yet...I had a feeling it would be pretty informal...and it was. The lady who interviewed us was very nice. She agreed that nothing would come of this allegation. We still have to wait 30 days for them to close the investigation before we can get our little girl back.
I just pray it goes by quickly and she sticks to her word. The bruises were obviously not from abuse but from playing at the park....anyone could see that. Plus we wrote out everything we did this last week and there was no time my husband was even alone with our fs. He's been to busy at work and by the time he got home the kids were already asleep.
Thank you for your support and advice. I hope it doesn't go any further. I will let you know.
The hard part was our soon to be adopted fd was also taken away the day they took the boys away. On sunday her birth mom and grandmother and baby sister came to our church to visit her and we had to explain to them why she wasn't in our home temporarily. I felt so bad. They again expressed their concern saying the only reason she had signed the papers relinquishing her rights was because she knew we would be adopting her. I had to reassure her our commitment in doing everything possible to get her back in our home ASAP.
I think it was completely wrong for DHS to have removed her from our house in the first place when we weren't even guilty of anything. They assume guilt before innocense and automatically remove all fosterkids when an allegation is made. They don't wait to ask us what really happened they just snatch the kids away and then ask questions later.
I don't know why this happened to us...but I know things happen for a reason. Which may only be for me to have more compassion for the families put in these difficult positions as i have been. Again thank you for your support and advice.
