[QUOTE="DDD, post: 481405, member: 35"] I'm hoping your appointment. tomorrow brings some peace. In preparation I "think" I would type up a brief recap of difficult child's history...just using simple sentences. For example: 1. difficult child will be 18 on xxx. 2. He is currently living at yyy due to domestic violence toward me on zzz and aaa dates. 3. He and I have not been afforded the opportunity to share counseling and have limited contact. 4. I love difficult child and hope we will share a life as soon as safety issues are resolved. Then, perhaps, my current concerns are: 1. I was given the choice of having him released directly home or placed in a transitional setting. 2. Due to safety issues I preferred temporary placement prior to unification. 3. Although I was led to believe temporary or transitional placement was possible, Department of Juvenile Justice now wants to place him in a Group Home that states their goal to be placement until adulthood with training to prepare for independent living. Finally, I need to know what my parental involvement rights are in regard to their plan and how I can assure the opportunity for reunification is not lost. As you well know "time is money" and further "recapping past disappointments dealing with the system" will likely derail the focus or goal of your appointment. Basically you are going to find out "what are my rights" "what are difficult child's rights" and "how can I best assure difficult child and I might be safely reunited". I'm hoping you get the answers to those questions, klmno. Sending supportive thoughts. DDD [/QUOTE]
