Question

Can a foster parent get an attorney to fight for the foster child that was up for PCC? The parents have contested, haven't been around for over 8 months, and child has never lived with parents. We feel that GAL is not representing the child's best interest. Now the parents want to see the child, which makes me believe that the last 15 months of his life, which they haven't worked the case plan means anything. He was taken at birth and then within 4 - 5months a GAL stepped in and said parents should have a chance. Other 3 sibilings were taken away due to physical and sexual abuse. THey had their chance, and chose not to see him for over 8 months.
