can go with mom's, but usually if the kid is already in the system they would not release the child for that....and if older children have already been removed, then they usually aren't in any hurry to return the child.

I have gotten kids whose names I was given were incorrect and whose age was off by two years, and they kept this going even up to our adoption (but they had it right on the medical card) Usually around here it is the Medicaid workers who track down the correct info.

Social Workers will push you around as much as you let them.....so if you don't feel something is right tell them...If you want to be in on the meetings and court dates tell the SWs, their supervisiors, and when you get to know the GAL and/or CASA worker, let them know as well
