[QUOTE="klmno, post: 289480, member: 3699"] I agree about the ADA and ACLU issues and it's worth pursuing, seems like. The part about it wouldn't be happening if you were a bio-parent, well, I'm not sure. People have difficult child's GAL convinced that because I had therapy for sexual abuse and drug abuse over 25 years ago that my problems are what is behind difficult child's issues. It hasn't gotten as far as CPS though because so far, the judge is not in agreement with that theory. But I did have to testify about it to convince her. It's hard to say if things would be any worse if I was an adoptive parent. Actually, I have thought that adoptive parents have benefitted in this area. Not only do the kids get more services, but there is already documentation that the kid had problems while not even living with the adoptive parent. Since difficult child has only lived with me, it's easy for people to say that I must be the problem, or "let's try moving him somewhere else and see if the problems go away". Maybe you can modify some of these points and bring them up at your meeting. [/QUOTE]
