I am back its been awhile since posting on here but alot has happened. Last time i was here i dont know if i mentioned cas pursuing crown ward on my son now and im trying not to let them get it. I keep log notes of everything inlcuding visits and who does them,conversations with workers,supervisros whoever,apts of my son, anything like this. Me and the foster mom communicate through notes so when my son arrives she will write me telling me how his week was and how hes been eating etc and then when he goes home after the visit i write tell her how the visit was and how he ate cause she has to keep track of that but i photocopy the note i write back to her and keep them all in my document folder for my own records. My son is 2 1/2 yrs old now doing much better with the eating and tube feeds then before and hasnt vomitted in a month hurray and is gaining weight better now. I just wish all this mess would come to an end and my baby boy would come home to us where he belongs, this whole long process has been so tramatic and hard for not only us but our other children who reside with us also. Cas had it court ordered me and my spouse do a parenting assessment so we done that on Sept. 19th from 9-5:30pm which i found very stressful and frustrating cause there was so many questions and hands on and talking to 4 different proffessionals at the assessment, i was just glad to be done and out of there by the end of the day. Then the 2 therpapists visit my home 2 times but have only come once so far to attend my visits. When they attended the one visit they seen me and my spouse do a tube feed and change my son's dressing around the site and then observed us together and had a tour of my home. I thought i went well but wont know in total if we passed until Nov. 20th @ 11am. I had have had 2 encounter's with the worker calling here askign me how i would feel if my son left the district i live in to go to the hometown where the foster parents are from and i have expressed my opinion saying i do not want him leaving this district to go 6-7 hours from here when im not there, but they have gone ahead anyway and allowed them to take him. that ticks me off why ask me how i would feel when they do it anyway. they have screwed me so much in the last couple months for visits and can never be on top of things and makes me sick. This time around when they took him to there hometown because there was a death in the foster moms family i lost out on my visits and they had to reschedule an apt for my son. Im just lost at my rights to my son in care i feel like they are very limited and that isnt fair to us. does anyone know where i can find info on my rights or can help me out with this please.

Hey all sorry its been awhile since posting, alot has been going on. I have had alot to deal with CAS wise. They found out somehow i was coming on this site even though i remained anonymous and were using it against me in my papers that i was posting my case on here so thats why i layed low for a bit. For a quick and brief update things didnt go as i had planned and hoped it would. Finished court in May 2nd/08 and recently then lost my son who is now 3 to crownwardship to CAS. It is an open adoption and we requested pics and letters twice a yr so i hope they keep up there end of the bargain and plus we are allowed to write him during the years to come also and include pics, videos of us etc. We also prepared a scrapbook of the entire family so that it will be shown to him growing up. It will be a long wait waiting until hes 18 to come looking for us. I just wished things would have worked out differently in the end, i believe me and my hubby done everything we could have possibly to win our son home and its breaking my heart each and every day as i think about him and how he is doing and whether he has made the final move to his adoptive home as they have already found him one prior to him even being crown ward. I just hope that he recieves good care and all his medical needs met etc. He will always be in our hearts and prayers. I beleive we are good parents and that once again CAS took a child from a home that was doing fine before they stepped in as i have 2 other kids with us who are perfectly healthy and we love them all so dearly.

Have You saved all papers court documents,nurse\ doctor notes etc??? Make sure you have all Court Documents and I urge you to get a micro recorder all conversations with any sort of Goverment employee ,even your own Doctor and Lawyer! There are a few Places to educate yourself in law such as www.jurisdictionary.com , it is american site but the base of the law and way things happen are very similar! thier is also www.thinkfree.ca for more legal education and www.georgegordon.org for more background into the way things work before the courts! Lawyers (MOST) are of little to no use as they can only go so far before the Money dries up or they have thier Licences to practice law threatened! You almost have to be a Pro se Litigant it seem to actually do something especially if you are of low income! I suggest getting educated and taking a run at these people as just laying down and throwing up your hands in defeat is of no use,and wether you win or not but that you tried! Remember that these people are little more than snakes crawling on thier bellys seeing what they can the most easist gobble up with the least resistance to put into thier system to make more jobs for themselves!
