One would think that the Stocklaufer case would put the system on notice that people are actually taking note of what the Missouri courts and DFS (Division of Family Services) are doing with regard to the children of, and within, their state. Apparently not though! If there was ever a MEMO -- it must have gotten lost within the system. After all, it certainly didn't get to some case workers that went above and beyond wrong in the actions taken against still another Missouri family.
A foster child was involved in inappropriate behavior. The foster parent made notification to the proper authorities (as is the rule) only to then become the one blamed. Excuse me?
It didn't end there...
The DFS, didn't just take away the one child, they came into the home and took away other babies that were also supposed to be adopted by this family. Their excuse? That the family -- not they -- were neglectful. After all, the family should have somehow known the inappropriate incident was a possibility, and because they didn't (from lack of information provided by DFS) they were neglectful and therefore not worthy to foster or adopt the babies, right?
What is wrong with this picture? Too much, I would think!
The foster parent makes the call, yet is thereafter treated as though someone called in on them? Where is the ability to process logic? Isn't that a requirement with these state jobs, especially the ones involving the well-being of children? If not -- it should be!
Maybe Missouri needs to review it's social workers and it's rules, prior to wrongfully destroying families! Just a thought!

Adoption is more about the person giving up the child than about the welfare of the child or the adoptive parents giving so much to care for them. At least the system works that way (SD).
I'm not surprised to see foster care is any different. I realize it's state by state. Since foster care may be in our future, I may need to hit the books.
Wholesale change is needed nationwide in these areas, especially if more babies are saved from abortion.
I could go on and on....
