Oops, I missed at least one.
#4 DSHS is required by law to seek placement with a relative if they remove a child from a home. In Lilly's case they did not do that!
DSHS put Lilly right with a foster-adopt....an under 30 single woman who signed up for a free child! They denied this child her legal right to stay with family. They denied the extended family the legal right to keep her.
I was the one who called the AG to inform them that the great-grandparents even existed. I was told about them from the maternal grandparents. DSHS never even asked! They broke the law...again.

What a shock!!!! They have laws? Sounds very similar to the Stuth Case. Will they ever get it right?
This happened with us too. First, the girls were placed across the street at a neighbors and then after almost 2 months went to the homes chosen for them by the department. My sister-in-law repeatedly called the dept. but the calls were never returned. We still feel that the dept. will fight to the end to make sure the foster-adopt family can keep the little one. I`ve heard they are taking her to Oregon this weekend to meet all of her NEW family. You know the foster dad asked the vgal during a meeting how they could help our neice to cope with things and the vgal asked him "Do you know how to fix a broken heart?" The girls should have been with family until this was all worked out. But there was an agenda for the 3 year old and that`s been said to me many times by one of the attorney`s paralegals.
Missed one????? I'm sure MANY more have not even been fully announced to be addressed.
