It has been my experience that ALOT of it is up to the caseworker. If they feel that the parent is not “case compliant” they will not make the recommendation that the child goes home and HOPEFULLY the judge doesn’t read anything or see any reason to go against the caseworker’s recommendations.

I’d like to know how these judges define a family ?? These judges and family service workers are so pro “family reunification”…when a child grows up in your home. Who is the REAL family ??

Just to give my 2 cents. We had a foster daughter who came to us at 6 months old and left 11 months later. She had no home visits, no overnight visits. She had 2 visits a week for 2 hours (that she was not showing up for on a regular basis). Judge ruled that the child (then 18months) be returned that day. So there was no tranition for this poor baby.
