[QUOTE="Janna, post: 253581, member: 2737"] JJJ, I'm so sorry that you are stressed with this. 165 days goes fast - it seems like a long time, but it's not enough to get everything to happen the way you want. I've been through this reunification stuff more times than I'd like to recall. And you know, the thing is, they can breeze through. B just did - he finished up 7 months at an Residential Treatment Facility (RTF), and they told me he matured, became very family oriented, blah blah, etc - but in reality, the minute he was out, he was back to the same PITA he's always been. There's been no change. I'm just trying to get him out of here now (we emancipated him) into his own place. The CHILD has to WANT to work. That's it. If not, nothing's gonna work. I was wondering, too, about a step down. They offered that to us with D in his last Residential Treatment Facility (RTF). He would have went to a "theraputic" foster care for a period of, say, 6 months to help reunify him back. They didn't offer this to us until almost the end, but I'd ask. I hope things go ok with the visit. [/QUOTE]
