Nightmare-Possibly losing the kids - Adoption.com Forums

So much of the time, this is the way foster care works...and frankly, I feel it's not usually IN the best interests of the children....but in our state, it's the sad state of affairs. (sigh)
I would suggest that you contact the childrens' CASA worker. IF they have a CASA worker, you might be able to discuss the entire situation with him/her and perhaps have some help in determining what would be the best scenario. Not that this will always happen, but we HAVE seen where a CASA worker's opinion trumped that of the majority opinion. The judge took the CASA's point of view VERY seriously.

Can you request a bonding evaluation to show that the children are, indeed, doing well in your home and might suffer to be moved? My hunch is that the grandmother IS being pushed into this by a biodad. This isn't unusual either...and why the courts don't see this for what it is---is inexcusable.
If you can't get an eval done, then it might be wise to contact an attorney to help with your case. A lot will depend on what you were told when the children were placed with you: Were they placed as foster to adopt....legal risk, or simply foster children you were hoping to adopt if possible.
How the system placed them will have an impact on how the judge will view this as well...at least that's what so often happens.
Best of luck. I personally know how heartbreaking this can be...which is one reason we quit being foster parents and why the foster care system is not a favorite of mine.

Sincerely,

Linny
