[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes children are removed from parents on false grounds. Social workers make mistakes too. Sometimes it is mothers illness, like post natal depression, which does not last a lifetime, sometimes a parent agrees to bring a child in. Not all drug addicts.[/quote]

And sometimes they're removed for real reasons, but parents are able to get their acts together. Sometimes moms get the courage and help to leave an abusive spouse. Sometimes they get counseling and meds for their depression for the first time. Sometimes, sometimes, they are able to actually beat addiction.  Reunification is the best because children should not just be ripped from their families for one mistake.  Parents have a chance to get it right.

If you can't understand that you do more damage to a kid by ripping them from their families unnecessarily, then you should not be a foster parent. You need to respect the bio family.  Even if you end up adopting the kid - you have to RESPECT THEIR BIRTH FAMILY.[/quote]
