Hi, we have been foster/adopt parents since we took our first kids in Dec. 06. We adopted our first placements, since then we have had alot come and go and also had some problems with workers and families. Two years ago we got a baby boy, we just finalized the adoption on him, we also have a sibling set that we have had for a little over a year, we keep hearing that they are going home, we are hoping so because they have alot of stuff going on that we aren't trained to deal with and there is no connection with us or our family from the kids. That makes 5 kids in our house, we are approved for 6 and have room for 6, we have our 6 yo girl, our 15 yo girl, our 2 yo boy, foster 5 yo and foster 17 month old. We found out in June that our baby boys mom was pregnant again, due in October. We were asked if we would take the baby, we said yes. We told our worker we wanted the baby, then there was some problem as to a supervisor wanting to put the baby somewhere else, workers wanting to place the baby with us and there was a disagreement about it. We talked to supervisors about this and our worker again. When the baby was born, we did get the baby, but our worker told us that they would have to move the 2 foster kids in our house and that we would have to close out and take a break. I told her that we would still like to foster older children, and she said no that we needed to concentrate on our family and we would have to close out. The supervisor hadn't heard of this and said we needed to talk to our worker again. We feel this is a deal between some of the workers we have had problems with to get us to stop fostering. We don't want to stop fostering. Can they close us out or make us close out just because we took a baby?
Thanks
