Foster parent 'application' denied

This message was originally posted by [url=http://forums.adoption.com/old_boards.php?username=Lisaie]Lisaie[/url]. This does sound frustrating. They did not give you any reasons such as they don't feel you have certain skills, etc. They just said no, with no reasons? Have you asked for a copy of thier grievence procedures, to see if there is a chain of command you can appeal this decision. the only thing I can think of is that staff member is a foster parent, but not with the agency itself. Of maybe later the decided they were going to make it a policy to not allow staff to be foster parents or people for the state department, but this person was grandfathered in. I don't know, sounds confusing. Can you go with another agency or directly with the state? Good luck.
