Jessica, Im thinking the same as the others here. Agencies dont always Know what is best and they see Foster care as the catch all solution. I dont think that is always the case. It may be IF you were a neglectful mom but given your posts here I dont think that is the case. He ( the 5 year old ) got the idea that this is the way he is from someone older ,probably his perp.. I believe that this will come to light with good counceling. Little kids dont come up with this stuff all by themselves. Not 5 year olds. He got his ideas somewhere. I also agree that this is his way of telling you. When you are looking for counceling try to find one that has lots of experience with CSA and can help YOU as well.. Im finding that the YWCA in Ga does a lot to help moms and victim. Even when strapped finacially. So you may want to start there. Remember that the agency that you are dealing with is NOT the final word on this.. I think you need to fight it and look for all the good in home ideas you can to have safety plans and put them into action. There are some other parents on here as well that have the same situation. Its got to be terribly difficult but because you care so much I know you will make ot through. Your children are very lucky that they have you. We here on the board will help you as much as we can as well. these gals (and guys have kept me as close to sane as one can be in this.. So stay with us well be praying for you and yours
hugs
