[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 692512, member: 1550"] ADad, but my son is almost 23. hopefully things have changed. Do I know if they have? Not really. we quit doing foster care because the children and foster parents at the time we felt were mistreated snd it got to be too stressful. Also a long, horrible story about an adoptee we had who we got terrible information about from social services. Their report on him stated he had never had behavioral issues. The truth? He was a long time and severe sexusl predator of very young annd disabled children and he did it to mine and we suspect others, plus animal killing, fire setting, stealing...no conscience. we called CPS to take him the day it all came out and had to (and did) put the family back together. CPS was very sorry and paid for all our help/therapy and thank God our kids seem to be doing great. I dont trust adoption and foster care institutions to be honest here or in most of the international adoption world. And CPS is often the first stepping stone to adoption. Sonic went there first where he lucked out for two years in a loving home, then came to us happy, loving and hevwas able to attach, unlike many older foster kids who spend the early years without affection. it is a mixed bag. Sonic is wonderful...never really a behavior problem. There is no one else to call here if we feel a child is in danger. If we call the police, they will call CPS. So when we feel a child is in peril, this is what we have to do. OP did the right and only thing and I pray for her. [/QUOTE]
