Don't be a nice Foster Parent to the agency; be a damn pushy one. We started out being nice FPs. We took the caseworker out to lunch, we coddled him and thanked him for all he did (which you should do if they do something awesome). We began the same way with Ariel's caseworker..... and got nothing. Ariel has been here for over 2 weeks, and NO ONE from the agency has come to see her, has set up visits with her family, and we were JUST notified that the arraignment is on Monday.
So... with out cursing or doing anything that would make me stay away from church this Sunday, I starting demanding that things get done. Emailing supervisors with pointed questions and concerns that are laid out plainly and abruptly work like magic. Within an hour Ariel's Courtney worker had called me and set up an appointment for today. Hopefully our other concerns will be addressed soon.
Our main concern, at this point, is that Dad (is seems) is only being investigated for DA against Mom and not against the kids. Ariel has told us horror stories about how he has treated her, and says every couple of days that she doesn't want to go home.
Our home isn't that fun. If a foster kid doesn't want to go home something is very, very wrong at home.
In other news, Snow White's dad and grandpa have been issued no contact orders, and Dad and Mom are no longer living with the grandparents. As of yesterday no one knew where they were.
