A friend asked this question in regards to the upcoming CPS staffing:
“Have you had the opportunity to meet with the children themselves? If so how much weight does their feeling or reactions carry?”
Good question. Unfortunately not. CPS adoptions don’t work that way. We won’t have the opportunity to meet the children. First we have to be chosen at this Friday’s staffing. Then in the coming days there would be a “paper staffing” with the case worker where they give us all the details of the children and we would meet the foster parents (but not the kiddos yet). Then a transition plan and first meeting would be scheduled between us and the kids with the foster parents.
