是，做寄养家庭有程序走，我邻居说，要先去county听课，然后好像county得人还要来家里检查。然后一堆文件签。我感觉快得话，至少1个月？

除了父母完成他们指定的case plan， 还有一个最重要的方面就是法官和听证会(hearings). 听证会的进度直接影响到案子的进展。

I’m going to write down my understanding of the general timeline for foster care cases. I don’t work in the court system so if I make any mistakes, please let me know.

1. Report of abuse or neglect
2. Investigation
3. Removal of the child, or children from home, and placed in a foster home facility or relative placement

 Normally all three steps will happen within the 24 hours, I think. 

Hearings 

First, Continued custody hearing. 

Held within 3 days of the child’s entry into foster care. Court hears evidence of for removal. Court rules as to the continuance of state custody or reunification.

Second, Answer hearing

Held after 30 to 45 days after the first hearing. Parents were answer to the charges listed in the petition. Parents will either deny the charges or stipulate that their child is a child in need of care (admit what they did was wrong).  

During the first 30 days, the first family team meeting will be arranged. (Parents can see the child) 

Third, Adjudication hearing (Full hearing)

Held after 15 to 30 days after the second hearing. 

If the parents didn’t stipulate during the answer hearing, the hearing will judge whether the court deems the child in need of care. ( if the child remains in state custody)

Fourth, Review hearings.

At any time during the case, which is every 4 to 6 months, the judge or DCFS may wish to have the case reviewed in court. It’s up to DCFs or the judge.

Fifth, Permanency hearings (every 12 months)

With your month 12 the court will rule on the permanent plan for the child. The case goal will be evaluate it, and possibly extended or changed. It means during this hearing, the judge will decide if the child goes back to the parents, or should be adopted or parents need more time to work on their case plans. If the case is extended, the child will remain in the foster care. 

这春秋晃的人晕。因为不相信缺乏透明度的地方，就变成了不相信美国和不适合居住在这里了？美国是一个行政区划，根本不存在相信还是不相信的问题。

那是否可以说你这么不相信父母，就真的不适合被生下来？或者说应该让你信的去生你养你，譬如不透明的机构什么的。

屁歪真是有病

任何政策都是可以批评的

更何况印第安人被屠才有了美国

美国被屠也可诞生新的国家

且不会有负罪感。

显然是你的反抗越低

美帝制度就越是为所欲为

不行就找报社追踪吧。

决不能坐等，不会给你好果子吃。

这个case的讨论不是应该所有成年人要学习怎样避免暴力对待自己的孩子，避免违反美国法律吗？给大家都上了一课，在中国打孩子不是个事，在美国却是违法可能有严重后果的。

大家都是听一面之词，但是孩子被家长暴力对待是事实，违法了也是事实, 为什么讨论却变成了美国政府迫害华人，寄养家庭怎么邪恶了呢？

希望妹妹早日回家， 可怜的孩子， 一定吓坏了。

各位爸妈， 一定记得控制自己的情绪啊。 不然一时的怒气可能会导致很可怕的后果。

简单地如何帮助孩子到朋友家中

这么简单的事情

竟然帮不了，不懂的废物

还跟大家讲cps 流程

本身说明操作性极大极大！

反正我闺女的时候，犹太组织极力劝她要全权代表她的利益，替她出庭，反复劝说，闺女死活不答应。

而且出庭前十几分钟才打电话通知我们如何打进电话上庭。

庭审的法官就是bitch, 其实是不允许你说话的。

很多人还做梦走程序，我可以告诉楼主，随时随地都是坑。你没有能力是帮不了朋友的。。。一定丑话说在前边。别最后失去了孩子，朋友也没得做。

白皮邪恶是没法用言语形容的。任何地方都有trick, 往死里坑你。。

90%概率那些foster home比lz说到的原生家庭更火坑。 多看看law and order 就知道了。 有人真是盲目相信这种用钱run的foster system.
