My caseworker could be a lot worse

I have to stop browsing tonight, because I keep reading things that make me angry... like this.

That doesn't surprise me. Our caseworker wanted to move our daughter to a new home because we are white and she is not.

Most people aren't colorblind.

Well, I don't know how it is in GA, but in Texas, the child's worker isn't the one that finds a home, but s/he can try to set a few parameters. There is actually a seperate person in the state office who is handed the file and starts making calls to agencies, and gives them whatever information they feel like. So Huckle's SW wasn't the one telling the other family the wrong information, it was the central placement people telling it to our private agency, who passed that information on to that family, who then got a big shock.

So, there are at least four people that the information goes through. Telephone, anyone?

Levels and levels of absurd, eh? And I haven't even brought up what we were told by his atty ad litem about some of the other prospective adoptive families and why she objected to them. Must save that for after we're free and clear.

I'm looking forward to hearing all the dirt! I've heard Texas is bad before...
