[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Kentucky. I know someone whose sister went to go live with foster parents without terminating rights. This means that when the foster parent can’t or doesn’t want to do it anymore they have to find someone else. However, this means she cones home on weekends or whatever arrangement they have agreed upon. So the child still stayed connected to the family. I wish I could remember what this was called.

I agree you should find an attorney. You might be surprised and they waive or reduce the fees. My brother was adopted and he always does adoptions pro bono for example.

There’s also many boarding schools and alternative education options in the Philadelphia area. Special needs education tuition is tax deductible under medical expenses.

Wishing your whole family help and peace. I’m so sorry[/quote]

It sounds like they cannot or will not pay for a private placement and it's not serious enough for the school system to pay and the child is very young so that's another issue.  Parents of kids in foster care get visitation depending on the court recommendation but imagine being a child whose parents gave you up, kept your siblings, clearly don't want you and being forced to visit in that home environment.  That may not be in the child's best interests.  Also, there is no guarantee the child would go into a residential placement.  They could go in a full range from a regular foster home, therapeutic foster home, group home to residential care.

The court will assign them an attorney if they cannot find one.  That's a non-issue.  The child will have to be placed in foster care by the courts.  If the parents want the child back they will have to follow the court orders to get them back or their rights can be terminated if they don't voluntarily sign.  Hopefully CPS can find this child a loving home with parents who want them.[/quote]
