[QUOTE="carolinablonde, post: 410668, member: 11283"] C is 11. She came to husband as a foster child when she was 4. As far as refusing to take her home...We were told we can't leave her at the hospital because we'll end up with a huge medical bill. However, he is fully prepared to sign over his parental rights, even if it means being charged with neglect/abandonment. Our concern with that is we're not sure how it would affect things with the other kids. Would I also be charged? Would the other kids be taken as well? Even if he wants to do that, is it even possible? He loves her and wants to be part of her life, but we need to keep everyone safe and we don't know if this will ever get better. The lady who is helping with the long term placement is coming today, so I have a lot of questions to ask. If this is only going to be for a couple of days then we can handle it. If it's going to be longer then we need to figure out something else. Are there emergency options? The hospitals suggestions was for husband to get a hotel room with C. Yeah...we're just made of money...not to mention he works 3rd shift and no one would be there at night. Argh! Anyway, thank you for the replies and advice. We are willing to try/do anything at this point. [/QUOTE]
