[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 345414, member: 1169"] I was a CASA for a while. I had to stop because my children's needs skyrocketed. I am hoping to go back when my kids are grown. My case was a single mother with 7 children - 7 different dads. When I was brought on board, the kids were split into two placements and the baby remained with mom. I was with them for over a year when I had to resign. By then, two of the children had been reunified with their dad's, two were placed for permanent guardianship with their grandma, and 3 were in a pre-adoptive home. CASA's are trained to not have any pre-conceived notions about what is best. Of course, everyone comes to situations with their own life history impacting them. CASA is a wonderful experience. But, how much time do your children take? This is only 10-15 hours a month but it can be emotionally intense. [/QUOTE]
