[QUOTE="klmno, post: 344161, member: 3699"] Ohhhh!!! Well then it sounds like my fears wouldn't apply if they have already been turned over to the state. There's a good chance you'll end up crossing paths with the psychiatrist that led difficult child's MDE, being in this situation. She is very knowledgable and I bet you like her- along with her multiple jobs that include working with children who have become wards, she advocates for children's needs and rights and gives talks to authorities in Department of Juvenile Justice. She wrote a heck of a long letter and sent it in a week or so ago when the plan to cut so much funding from juveniles in the justice system and mental health care system was made public. I'd love to pick her brain a while- not just regarding difficult child but for me as well. LOL! I was especially impressed when being a psychiatrist, she told me that many times kids end up on medications when the problem could be solved thru adequate therapy but it's very difficult to find tdocs who know how and can and are willing to work with kids on some of their issues. She really gets it- the Department of Juvenile Justice system, the way funding dictates so much, the lack of adequate care, and the way sd's try to plow over everything sometimes. You'll probably like her! Step, they are really hurting for CASA volunteers around here so I doubt they'll say no to a warrior mom. They are advertising all over the place trying to get people to volunteer for this and to be foster parents. I'd like to try the foster parent route in a year or so if difficult child can be more of a mentor than a co-conspirator or partner in crime and if I'm financially able. [/QUOTE]
