I do agree that the "system" does need a lot of work done, and needs to use a lot more common sense. My family was placed in group homes and foster care by CPS for all the right reasons. But once placed, they kinda forget all about you until check ups are due or the family complains about you. My little sister was touched by a few of the homes that we got placed with and we were told that they couldnt do anything about it because she was probably acting out or making it all up.It Took almost a year before they had enough evidence to relocate us. 6 years in the system before we finally got adopted. But the system failed for a long time

Thanks for your story. Yes, even when they have removed children that are truly being abused or badly neglected, they often end up in less than suitable or even worse situations than they were in the first place.
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences in the foster care system.
