[QUOTE="klmno, post: 370557, member: 3699"] That might have been what they would have done if difficult child had this hx and was at this age a couple of years ago, but due to funding problems and lack of group home availability and foster parents, our law/policy changed a year or so ago, according to dss lady who was called in to review family stuff again right before difficult child was sent to Department of Juvenile Justice. She said they are now required, no options, to send any kid coming into their system to a family member if they can find one to take the kid unless the person is on the list of sexual offenders. She stressed this to me and also told the judge this. I reminded her of what my bro had done in past and she of course, knows he lives out of state. She said it did not matter, they have no choice. It would be considered a foster care placement with a family member out of state. They would still be technically working toward reunification for one year. Then there would be a permanent custody/parental rights hearing. I'm a little less antsy knowing there's a potential job interview this week, a slight chance for getting unemployment if I don't get this job, and maybe getting my name on the waiting list for VA's re-employment program (with job working there) this week. Even if that's the best that this week brings, it at least shows that remaining unemployed is temporary. [/QUOTE]
