Looking for our foster baby - who left in Sept! They dont know where he is!!!! This happened before! I cannot believe this! And now I feel even guiltier than before. We all wish we hadn't let him go. When we were asked if we would adopt we never believed it would happen, we totally believed he would be reunited with his bio-parents by now. Not only is he not with them, but the people responsible for him dont know where he is!!!! ugh.
Oh, How terrible. I can't even imagine. Please let me know if you find anything out.

How does an agency lose a baby? That is insane. I am getting tired of hearing these awful DSS stories. I know there must be untold number of good sotires, but it's hard to think good thoughts about a program that frequently 'loses' children.
It is insane! I cant understand, dont they keep all this info in a computer? Doesnt the Worker know what family she gave him to after she picked him up from my house? Hopefully they have figured it all out by now. I wish I could call & find out, but we aren't entitled to any info.

How they lose a child?
Lemme tell ya. Sarah was placed with us when she ran away while we no longer had a foster license or even fingerprints on file. She was an "off the books" placement for 3 months!!!I forced them to make it official. HAd she ran form our house...she woulda been lost without a trace.
Also, I still have her passport, and she is no longer with us again...and if I wanted to she could call me, I could meet up with her and take her out of the country. I have her passport, after all. Careless oversight by DSS. I took her with their permission to Holland last year and no one at the airport ever asked for permission letters or anything. So...even though I could run off with her...I never would...but man, do you see how you can just lose a kid?
That's how. Off the books placements. People who leave with a kid because they..can!!!

Crazy, crazy itshay.
OTOH, I wish DSS would lose a baby on *my* doorstep.
the state of tennesse called us 16 months after finalizing DS's adoption to set a court date to finalize. I had to fax them the paperwork to prove we already had, they had no record of it in his file.

So do you folks w/exp suggest ever dealing with DSS?
I aks because dh and I have considered foster parenting. I haven't done it yet because I am helping my sister with her baby while she works.
I think I could be a good foster parent, but the horror stories scare me. If I were to adopt, I would go to the agency which placed my dd, and when I think about fostering, it's apart from adoption. I think of fostering as helping a family in bad times. Is that naive?
Fostering seems very dangerous. Things go wrong etc.
I just don't understnad though hwo you Loose a baby? its not like this is a child who rean away.
