Sorry to hear about your heart ache. It happens more times then you thing. We had been foster parents for 17 years and never had a problem. A little over a year ago we had three kids two boys age 2 and a girl 1 year old. We also had a baby that was about 4 months old. We asked that the baby be removed as it was too much on us. Well then everything started happening. They tried to get us for abuse on the baby. Said she had bruses on her which turned out to be mongoling spots (very common in AA kids). Well it was over ruled and then the next night mare. We had one of the boys for two years since he was 2 days old and were planning on adopting him. He had developed a problem of
spearing his fetus all over the place. We had talked with his doctor and were trying to deal with it. Not very pleasant.
CPS showed up at our home just after one of his messes and decided we weren't watching them close enough. They
decided to remove him and we told them to take the others too. Well so and investigation this time came up with no
ruling. They couldn't prove anything was done wrong on our part but cited us with violations that were stupid. Our home was closed and we never saw the kids again. We have never been the same and will never forget the heart ach. We loved the kids and wanted to adoped them. Our little boy only new us as his parents. What must he think? I never dreamed in all my years this could happen to me. We went the whole 9 yards to the pier meeting and still didn't win. All we can think of what we could have and should have or should have said. I thought we would be foster parents for the rest of our lives and we loved all 140 kids we had. We will never get over it. We would still love to be foster parents for the kids sake. You just never know when CPS will turn on you. This happened all within a month or each other.
