    I adopted my kids from foster care after 5 years of them being in the system. In that 5 year period they were only with their biological family for 3 weeks. The system works too slowly for kids to have the permanency they need.

    We are a foster and I have seen how there are rules and laws and they are not followed. There needs to be more accountability.

    Start putting the children FIRST... stop coddling the parents.

    I see this first hand. I am a permanency worker in Kay County Oklahoma. I believe if parents don't show they want there kids in the first 6 months termination should be asked for. I do it in my cases

    I was a CPS social worker for 6 years and repeatedly saw these case being continued for years due to the legal system and lack of following ASFA. I even had children who begged me to get the judge to do something so they didn't have to keep visiting their mother..
