I wonder why she’s in foster care? Was it a recent placement? Hopefully they’ll find them soon.

I don't know much about foster parenting. Is it normal for the bio mom to know who the foster parents are?

She may have been on a supervised visit?

ETA: Friend's of mine are foster parents and once a month my friend takes the children to spend a few hours with their parents, and stays with them. UK though so...

Or where they live? I know they could easily find out. They would stalk them from from their child’s preschool.

There's no one answer. Lots of factors, some already mentioned.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

This could be a relative placement - that cutie-pie baby placed with Aunt & Uncle, with Mom expected to complete steps of a reunification plan.

When we were fostering our (now adopted) boys, there was great concern for their safety if bio parents knew our location or names. We were advised to remove our address from any possible online source, and our names were redacted from all Childrens Division paperwork for the boys’ (and our) safety. There was a protection order in place… but all of that to say, our particular situation was not the norm in its extreme measures. It’s possible, but not usual.

I have many friends who have fostered who maintain a relationship with the bio parents as much as is appropriate for the well-being of the child. I would say overall, it is not unusual at all for bio parents to know who foster parents are.

While you were fostering to adopt weren’t there still visits?

While you were fostering to adopt weren’t there still visits?

We weren’t technically fostering to adopt, but in the course of time and the CPS case, rights were terminated and we did end up adopting. And no- because of the safety concerns there were never visits… which, like every other aspect of their case, was very abnormal in terms of foster care situations.

 

[Stunned]

The ones I was aware of or was involved with who were foster parents walked a very fine line. Their goal was to adopt, but boy oh boy, there were a couple of slippery slopes!

I’m guessing this is the bio mom; age and location match — however, it says she’s currently an inmate, which she clearly isn’t considering she just abducted her child….so maybe not? Or maybe very recently released?

I'm wondering what exactly "forcibly" means...was there a weapon involved?

Any updates? Seems like a long time without news!
