RE: Abandoned ... did Child Welfare fail? My husband's story ...

I think it is useless to send children back to a parent who does not care about them. In this case both parents did not and this had nothing to do with age. There was no click no love (not every mom has those feelings and it is a good thing to recognize and accept it just like we do with men who can simply walk out).
CPS did a bad job. If unwanted children can be givrn a good home at young age by adoption or a good foster family why put them in a home, separated from siblings, keep trying with a parent who is not able to give what these children needed most?

You're right @wakeupkitty, about being given a good home at a young age with a foster family. It would help the child to develop a sense of stability. Being abandoned and separated from siblings/parents is terribly destructive especially for such young children and if there is no one to show love and caring it leaves huge gaps in the developmental process. I appreciate your reading my post and taking the time to comment, thank you.

I hope somehow it will work out. I had a terrible psychopath as a mom and I can tell you by experience it does not stop with you (me) also my children have to deal with it. Creativity will help for sure.

Hey @wakeupkitty that's a great point .. creativity definitely helps. My original post was about my husband,s early years of being abused, and he is now a graphic artist, very creative and doing well. Blessings for you and your children xx
