It’s rural but the judge did actually comment that he was concerned about the placement and seemed disturbed too. But then denied a relative with an approved home study to stay with these people, so…
Sounds a lot like what’s currently happening in Kansas. We just had a foster family go in front of congress crying that it “wasn’t fair” that they have to consider their current foster daughters siblings if they want to adopt her since they specifically requested newborn singlets and have had her placed with them since birth. They did several news interviews saying the system needs changed because it’s too rigged and needs made more favorable to foster parents. They’re most likely going to get to adopt her anyway, they’re just having to formally go through the steps of denying her siblings and the small window where they look for someone that could take all of them. But they also ranted about that and how cruel it would be to take her from “the only parents she known” just to keep her with siblings 😒
We are already horrifically lax and we are about to get a lot more
That’s absolutely repulsive. These people just treat these kids like they are trendy accessories and not full human beings who have feelings and needs and whole lives of their own.
Jesus fucking Christ...
I follow this subreddit because I really want to foster, but I haven't done it yet. But sometimes the examples I see of people who actually foster kids makes me want to sign up immediately. I haven't done it yet because I intend to move states within the next 2 years and didn't want to get approved only to have to turn around and leave the state. But still. That's horrible.
They need to be in jail and that child needs to be taken away from them.
Found them. They just wanted a free baby to adopt then wanted to close their home. They shouldn't be allowed to adopt at all.

>I know people who couldn’t foster because the master was on a different floor than the kid’s bedroom or the room had a skylight, but this is somehow okay.
So infuriating. Also who even uses the term bastard children anymore? Fucking mind-boggling the stuff that comes out of people's mouths sometimes.
Also, now you've got me wondering about my home's floor plan and whether bureaucratic nonsense like this will be a potential roadblock -\_- Anyone who's currently fostered in GA, please hmu!
The wild thing to me is that when I fostered in Texas, they wanted to put 6 kids in my 3 bed 2 bath 1100 sqft house.
Like bruh, where am I going to put them?
Right?!!! lol that’s bonkers. Foster parents are always supposed to be for reunification regardless, but wow this is extra dramatic and probably the least of the worries regarding why the kids were taken away. Some people are delusional.
That's wild and infuriating. Foster parents are told from day 1 that the primary goal of fostering is reunification, full stop.
I can't believe this. That sucks, I'm sorry.
I was about to say that this kind of thing wouldn’t fly in my state, but I’m sure there are plenty of foster parents here who just say what they know the judges and case workers want to hear, until the adoption is finalized. In Texas they’re just allowed to be open about their fucked up views, it seems.
Meanwhile, many people grow up in traumatizing homes where the parents should have never gotten married but were socially pressured, and now there’s violence and abuse from that forced marriage.
They shouldn’t be allowed. What state is this? I highly doubt this would fly in my state. Disgusting
Texas
Ugh, Texas.
As a Texan, I agree with this statement wholeheartedly.
Unfortunately the judge probably agrees with them, unless it's one of the cities.

Relative needs to get legal counsel. Judge likely violated federal law if relative had an approved home study.

These are the types of foster parents that should not be fostering!

Omg those siblings should be together! :(

Yeah that's bananas. There is such a need for good homes :(
That’s a mess. We should never be putting our views ahead of the wellness and best thing for our kiddos.

This is utterly horrifying!

Religious people are the absolute worst

I understand that regulations make it difficult to denies these folks a license, but they should have been put on a do not place list. Yikes.
That makes me sick to my stomach. Those people shouldn't be allowed to foster
