Hi All,
We are an adoptive family who are foster/adopt approved and have a private home study as well. We are trying to reach out to families BEFORE CPS gets involved and the children enter the system but have no idea how to do so. Have any of you had any ever tried to reach out to families? We don't care about age or race and are open to special needs and sibling sets. I just don't know how to do this.....

No luck yet with our foster/adopt home study. It's kind of discouraging.
Thanks!

The big problem is that the families whose kids end up in foster care don't think they are doing anything wrong. I have yet to find a bio family that admitted they couldn't care for their kids, abused them or neglected them. They do not want to give them up. Even when CPS does take their cildren, they will drag their feet for years all the way to court order TPR and not sign over before that. Some do, but most don't. I don't know what you ahve been doing in terms of looking for cildren before, but there are many avenues to finding older kids including working with the state or private agencies.

Yes I have to agree with CaddoRose,Bio parents always seem to blame the county.The ones that don't blame CPS, usually try hard,work there plan and get there kids back.
