Problem with teenage foster girl
My husband and I recently had a 17 yr old foster girl removed because she was mean to the younger children and stole money from us. She retaliated by accusing my husband of sexual abuse and accusing me of knowing about it and telling her to be quiet. She knew that she would not be believed so she convinced our 9 yr old foster daughter(whom we are in the process of adopting) that when we gave her hugs and kisses especially daddy that we were being "bad to her". Our 9 yr old told the investigater what the 17 year old told her to say but later told them that she was scared because the 17 yr old told her that she would hunt her down. DCFS took our other 2 foster daughters and the 9 yr old out of our house. The other girls are 3 and 5. We have had them for 3 years ever since the youngest was 8 hours old. There has never been any Bparents involved and we go to court in May to adopt them also. We have hired an attorney, but has anyone else gone thru anything like this? We are devastated because we always treat these kids like our "Real" children, but when it suites the agency they pull them out and say it is in the best interest. We have been told that it will all be nothing, but it may be 60 days before we get the kids back. Sorry I just am at a lost without the girls and My husband and I feel all alone.
