[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I think it's that the CFSA staff aren't used to 2-parent working families. Many of them didn't come from that situation themselves, are not raising kids in that situation, and don't place a lot of kids in those types of households. They are much more used to the families where the kid are removed and the kinship placements where the kids are usually sent, which are overwhelmingly single parents and often don't include full time and/or professional workers. So they aren't set up for families that are different from their norm. Also, I think some workers are anxious that a more professional parent will be too pushy or hard for them to work with. Race and class issues come in here too.[/quote]
