We have a wonderful GAL. He has attended almost every meeting and of all the people on our team, he comes down harder on bio parents than anyone. He is stern and makes no bones about where he stands in the case! He has been awesome. We also have a CASA worker and she has been a god-send. We have a really horrible caseworker who can't find his rear-end with both hands (LOL). If it weren't for getting a CASA worker who actually began to "verify" everything the biomom was reporting (which turned out to be total lies), our foster child would be home right now living with a drug addict mother who knows nothing about how to take care of herself or a child. Thank God for CASA workers!

When our adoption is over, we hope by Christmas, I plan to stop fostering and become a CASA worker. I am all for standing up for the foster children and doing what is REALLY in THEIR best interest!
