Scream.

I just want to scream. I hate the idea of them investigating Sabrina's mom...at the same time I wish they would have check on her more in the beginning to avoid this. It is so sad, they sent Sabrina back to the exact situation that they had deemed unfit enough to put her in foster care in the first place.

I don't think that there is anything that they could prove that would put Sabrina back in foster care. We have a "Do not call" placed on our home because we had decided to not take any babies over 1 year old (because of Lizzy) and when the doctor put me on lifting restrictions I decided to tell them to not call me for anymore kids because it would be hard for me to say no even though right now I have to. It is hard enough to not pick up Lizzy...even though I do sometimes anyway.

I have always told them that if ANY of my kids come back into care I want them...but, I really don't want to live through this all again with Sabrina's family...yet the thought of her having to go to a foster home that she doesn't know makes me sick as well.

I doubt that they will take her again...but, the likelihood of a child going home and then being brought back into foster care isn't very small, it actually is very common. I hope that doesn't happen unless she is truly unsafe.

If you will take Sabrina if she does come back into care, please make it well known now if you believe they are investigating. Signals get crossed and assumptions made, and you don't want to have to fight later if she happens to get put in another foster home. I agree they are not too likely to pull her since she was returned to the same situation as before and as now, but you don't want to get surprised.

I made sure to call them and leave the crazy "I don't think anything is going on, but IF her name comes across your desk I want her" phone call. UGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

This is so sad, Leah. This whole system makes me want to scream. Praying safety for S, tonight.

:( The worst part about it is waiting to see...

I just hope Sabrina doesnt know any of this is going on.
