Prayers up for you both, FRiend. We’ve been fighting the Social Serpents to keep some modicum of control over a great grandaughter’s life, one who has spent half her life in our house. It isn’t easy.
Thank you, its was such of an event of this custody hearing it made my wife go into a total disconnect, she cried for hours the way the state was playing to auction her son off to another foster family because they said they could offer a better care program, yeah right...
First off they also have two teen aged daughters in the house, big “no” check mark there, then any visitations by me must be made in advanced an at certain times only. Then is their insistence my son must be part of their liberal social agenda that eerily reminded me of a scene from “Addams Family Values” the movie where the children are placed in a liberal summer camp and then forced to watch Brady Bunch non stop until they are brainwashed.
But in the end my sons attorney basically did his job, I wasn’t there but for now my son stays in the wonderful home he is in and the other foster family will have to search for another candidate they can rustle up and to then get paid for. Foster child placement is just short if not right on the edge of human trafficking in America. I pray for the day it too will be abolished for a better system instead of a meeting where the highest or lowest bidder wins custody for foster children.
