This sounds incredibly frustrating. Like, you can't plan for anything really WITH or WITHOUT the kids. And how unstable? Every weekend staying with you guys like it's been?
I mean, I know literally nothing about the foster system but this seems crazy. What the hell is up with the bio parents??
The bolded is why we are frustrated. If they came in our care full time we could somewhat plan. Also, if we knew this was going to continue to be every weekend we could also plan.
Also, nuggetrn and you both have good points about bio parents using respite. This is an abnormal case. The county where we are licensed is making the parents use respite on the weekend because something that that is supposed to be done everyday can not be done on the weekends currently for some strange reason and the county is trying to figure out why. So for the protection of everyone that is why the kids are removed and respite care is provided. However, as more time is going on more and more is being discovered/disclosed that may have this case become the kids are removed from the home and placed into foster care. The county has to do their due diligence though before that can be done if there is anything to substantiate the removal. If not, then the kids stay with bio parents.
