[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 197096, member: 1550"] JMO. I never wanted county services in my house. From my two adoptions and foster care AND having to take my son and daughter to At Risk Help, I didn't find social workers in any way helpful or particularly knowledgeable about our situations or any of our kids. I am sure we got the same sort of reports, but had we read them we would have most likely just tossed them in the trash. We knew that there was a lot more wrong with our son than just "defiance." We knew that if the social workers took him home, they'd be in tears and sleep-deprived and would suddenly have a new perspective on our parenting. And we pretty much relied on our son's actual private professionals to help him and half of them didn't diagnose him right or know what to do. We had to hire a lot of frogs until we found a prince who really helped us. Although I realize this is angering, I'd just chalk it up to "She doesn't get it." That's what we did. And, in the end, we were right. I still have the urge to write a letter to our first social worker who said, "Child seems to be in charge." Yeah, well, YOU try it, lady! (actually kid. Most of our social workers were barely old enough to be out of school and had never raised a child, let alone one with a disorder). I perseonally think it's great that Nate is so close to his grandparents. I wouldn't move because a social worker doesn't like it. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
