[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 213355, member: 30"] The plan is, as I hear it, that they will start with weekend visit and if that goes okay then increase the time at his dad's until he is there full time. The caseworker and her supervisor will visit the house weekly for a period of time, the every other week, then monthly, etc. until CPS is no longer involved. I believe the one year mark is in April or May, so there is that time. The dad's parents have had a home study done and the caseworker is waiting on the results. That will be a deciding factor also, as they would help with childcare because both parents are supposed to be working. THAT will be interesting for sure. I did speak to the caseworker about establishing visitation legally. I had hoped that CPS could put that as part of their plan, but was told no. I can and will however speak to the judge the next time we go to court. Grandparents as a rule have no rights in Texas. But because we will have had him for more than 6 months, that gives us grounds to ask. Our grandson *IS* a diabetic. It is interesting.............. he's "honeymooning" right now with his diabetes. When he was 2 yrs. old, he needed to take insulin. He does not take insulin now, but we do monitor his blood sugars. He is not on a special diet of any kind other than relatively healthy. I did ask the caseworker if they would be required to keep him in pre-k, so that at least there would be other eyes on him, and she said no! I was a bit shocked at that, but by law they do not have to. CPS will require him to have child care of some sort. CPS cannot by law require them to continue his ADHD medications either. by the way, my grandson is 5 today!!! :hapBday::hapBday::hapBday: [/QUOTE]
