[QUOTE="mdaly22, post: 94542, member: 4281"] So, here's what's happening now... County caseworker called to lay a major guilt trip on me. I shot it all right back at her (having found out that we're the 3rd foster home in 4 weeks) - that she's done nothing but try to minimize this child's problems. I was very proud of myself. I then called our foster care agency and asked them to talk to the county for me - that I didn't want to speak to the caseworker again. Let them deal with her. So, this evening we get a call from our agency that they did speak to county AND county has agreed to place our 6 yo foster boy in a 21-day diagnostic center where he'll get a full psychiatric evaluation. He will most likely be placed after that in a therapeutic foster setting with his 5 yo brother. The youngest brother will stay with us. Twice weekly sibling visits have already been arranged. I am so relieved at how things are turning out. I was so worried that this boy was going to get passed from home to home without anyone stepping in to make sure he got the help he needs. I am blown away that this decision has been made... I've seen little in foster care that puts children first - what a wonderful surprise! Mary Jo [/QUOTE]
