We are going through a similar battle. We are our foster sons fourth home since he was two years old, he is now three, he was taken at birth and is still in lingo, between the parents not getting there act together to almost being terminated 4 times, but before it happened they started doing what they neede to again. Now it seams that there is a family member who is willing to take our little guy. He is has already suffered from haveing been moved so many times, and he does not know any of theses people (family members) and now all of a sudden they are telling us that "POLICY" says he needs to go to family. What are we? AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! It's so frustrating, I have tried not to thionk the worst and prayed that some how our little guy will stay with us, but right now we are very very scared. The worst part of this is that the child's best interest are not being looked at seriously. We have been advised by the CASA social workers and state commitees that they beleive it would be best for him to stay with us, yet because of blood relation and policy he is going to be moved unless they had some sort of proof that the family would harm him. Also, we have not considered getting an atty, we where told that it was not allowed for us to bring an atty, since we have no legal rights to our littl boy, and that if we did try and get invloved the court would become irritated and surely not let him stay. Anyone have any ideas, suggestions, or any other info that would help? If he is taken away I don't know where we would go from there, with loss and grief.
Wish all of you the best, and may all our little ones stay where they are.
