fostering to adopt

But to be stabbed in the back by this caseworker after all the years of service with out any complaints is still unclear to us. After talking to other families who had similiar experiences I feel it is one caseworker who can make so much trouble! So please enjoy fostering but be on guard with the caseworkers who pretend to be so friendly to you when your job as foster parent means nothing.We even contacted all the government people of Pa only to have them not wanting to help. They could not be bothered with our lives and the lives they ruined. I have heard your private foster agencies to be great. Like friendship house Delta salvation army etc. But watch out for the county!!Only telling my experience and that of several close people who went thru what we did!
