Foster parents/court ?

We've been fostering two kids since July. It looks like they'll be reunified at this point, although it was previously looking like adoption. We have some serious concerns which we've voiced to the guardian ad litem and our licensing worker. They were both brushed off by the social worker and supervisor and even told "not to ask questions," when they voiced these concerns for us. My husband said that at one court hearing he was at that when the judge asked the foster parents if they had anything they wanted to share with her that they asked to speak to her in closed quarters and she did that. My DH is thinking about doing that at the next court hearing. Has anyone done this? I just don't want to be discredited at too attached and wanting to "keep" them which is what the worker seems to think.

    It is your responsibility to voice your concerns. Who cares what the social worker thinks.  I would ask to speak to the judge behind closed doors and I would also seek out a new licensing worker if they are brushing you off and not taking your concer

    Thanks all.  We're getting ready to move so our licensing worker will be changing.  I don't necessarily think the issue is with her.  Elissa...PM'd you back.
