RE: Healing Families Destroyed by CPS (FamilyProtection Series -- Anna's Family Story Part II)

Have an "exit plan" as well. ;) If you let them in, they aren't just looking to talk to you...they are taking notes on everything around your house that can be used against you - is the dresser bolted to the wall, does it look dirty, are the kids wearing socks? It's scary what they can take and use against you.

By that standard, no home is fit for children. Do they hold foster parents to that standard? @ironshield

Exactly. We had a friend tell us when they were doing a domestic adoption that the lady inspecting the house didn't like that there was a crack in the sidewalk. So he had to bust the whole thing out and pour a new concrete sidewalk leading to the front door!! Isn't that crazy? And they had to have every single electric plug covered with one of those plastic child safety plugs. Every single one in the whole house.

Meanwhile we hear about abuse in foster homes. But let's not make it too easy to get them adopted... for their safety. @ironshield
