So Hopeful and Happy

elissaann26

We are foster parents who welcomed two awesome boys in our home 3 months ago.  We are continually surprised by how well the boys are doing, but all of our frustration has been with "the system".  We have had policies broken, court order violated and even laws broken.  DH and I have been appalled and continually voice our concerns and escalate the issues.  We just feel that it is our duty to make sure the boys' best interest are the top priority.

Well, this morning we found out that the main source of frustration for us has been transferred off of our case!  I am hopeful that this means that the county is truly dealing with the issues present, which I think many are from a lack of training.  But we are so hopeful that now things will now get back on track and the focus can be on the boys and reuniting them with their family.

Just had to share our good news since for a LONG time we have felt like no one was listening.

I'm so glad that you got some good news!!  What a relief that must be.  I'm so happy the boys are doing well, I hope you get the resources you need to help you, your DH and your little guys.

I hope the person wasn't promoted!  :-P

Obviously, I'm just kidding, but I know how difficult it can be dealing with a bureaucratic, semi-political institution and trying to make headway.  I wish you and the boys all the best!

That is awesome news. It's great for all involved that you will be able to move on and get them on the best track. Sometimes we have to hold our breath and stomp until someone will listen.

I feel like I might have taken this to a new level!  Ha!

I'm really hoping this is the case for us.  But I'm already a bit too jaded to celebrate just quite yet.  But there can't be two social workers like this, right?

Foster1Mom

The supervisor of the case workers here told us she has a "Ten most wanted list" of case workers. So if we are having an issue with someone to let her know because they are probably on her list already. It's sad that they know there are workers out there like that but they are so short staffed they keep them.
