Arrgggggggh, this makes me so angry and incredibly sad!
Sadly, having gone through this crap for years in our own family, and watching the scenario with our friends and their foster kids right now, it doesn't surprise me. CPS, Family Services, etc... whatever they might be called in our different parts of the world, the common denominator they all seem to share is that they're an effin' joke! I realize it's not an easy job to expect of anyone, and the bureaucratic BS they're entangled in is beyond stupid but, SERIOUSLY, where do they find some of the bleeding heart idiots who work there?!? Ugh, I need to stop before I head off on a tangent that involves a reeeaaally lengthy rant...
