Do not blame the DHR workers. After some children were hurt in foster care years ago and DHR was sued, they entered into a Consent Decree, called the Hatch Decree, that mandates that they do everything they can possibly do to return children to their parent (s). The workers hands are severely bound by this decision. I guess it could be overturned when enough children are placed back in the hands of irresponsible parents and are killed. Unfortunately, I don't know who would have standing to sue in order overturn Hatch. Like Justice said, each child will have a court appointed attorney (Guardian Ad Litem) to represent their interests, but I don't think that would carry over post mortem.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

All attorneys involved are useless as a poopy flavored lollipop. I'll leave it there.

Our fosters last court date was Wednesday. The mother failed a surprise drug test Tuesday evening. Morphine and Amphetamines and they went ahead and closed the case, granting her custody of not one but two babies under 2. I cannot fathom how that has happened. We've experienced a plethora of lies and cover ups from DHR. They are actively working against the child's best interests. We can't say anything to anyone for fear they will withhold her from us completely. Currently they (the drug addict family members and parents of our girl) allow us visitation and we still have her at about 50% of the time. They know they can't care for them. We provide diapers and some food and clothing, but we have limits. We absolutely adore this child and she thrives with us. Why take the child from them the first time over drugs when you're going to let them take drugs during testing? It makes zero sense to us.
So I'd like to talk to someone further up the chain who may be willing to review the case for issues that may change the situation.
We KNOW we will get her back one day. They've been on drugs their entire lives and still are. Sooner or later they'll tie up fighting or something else will happen. Right now it looks like anything short of felony charges isn't likely to have any impact.
June 2018 I was 6 months from retirement and looking at building a place to retire to on the lake. The next day it all changed with this child coming into our care. I'd not trade her for anything but the stress over the last 18 months has taken it's toll on us. This isn't how I saw my retirement from firefighting. I'm willing to sacrifice for this child but damnit man we need someone in our corner. There are federal funds at stake so local DHR and state DHR do most everything they can toward reunification. Yes, more funds for closed cases that return children to their birth parents...Often at horrible costs. It's a perverse system and everyone in it knows how it works, including the case workers and supervisors and directors and DHR attorneys and judges. I have first hand experience and knowledge. Call Buddy Hooper at the Alabama Foster and Adoptive Parents Association. He is your best advocate.

I'd be very, very surprised if he wasn't able to help.

The decisions DHR makes absolutely blows my mind. I know a family that fosters children that I wouldn’t let be responsible for watering the plants, but DHR continually puts kids with them. My two cousins (they are sisters) used to both work for DHR and they could’t grab their own a$$e$ With both hands.
