In anticipation of our fd moving permanently with her grandparents next week, dss allowed visitation each day this week. The gp's pick her up in the morning and drop her off in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, someone made a huge paper shuffling mistake and now she can't have her hearing or be placed in their home for another 6 weeks. Gp's are devastated.
Gp's and I are in agreement that fd needs to spend as much time with them as possible over this next 6 weeks to allow for a great transition to their home.
Dss is now saying that every day is just "too much" and they want her to visit just 2 days a week.
Dss has no time or money or anything invested in how much they visit as the gp's drive the 40 minutes one way to pick her up and drop her off.
Is there a legal reason behind dss balking at the amount of visit time?
If I worked outside the home and were to send her to a babysitter or daycare, she could not only spend each day but dss would pay for it. Why can't she spend the day with the gp's who dss has determined she should be placed with?
I am grieving at our loss (we had hoped to adopt) but understand that if she is to be placed with them, she needs to be spending as much time as possible with them. Why is dss balking at this?

Can you speak with her GAL or attorney? We had an emergency respite placement for several months. We knew he was going to uncle & aunt, but worker was dragging her feet. They could only visit with him once a week for 2 hrs.
I finally told the worker, he needs to go. There should be no reason an approved relative should have to sit and wait for a court day. Get approval now and move him or I'll call the supervisor or the GAL. He was moved 2 days later.

I'd go up the chain and see what can be done.

I agree with dachsunds; go to GAL, supervisor, director, etc. I have made moves happen that way before when the CW was not doing their job.
