for parents of children in foster care,who are poor and intimidated by agency, court, police. the agency in many cases change the goal for permanency planning from reunification with family to adoption. the agency is more often than not dominated by europeans and the children for whom they have responsibility are non-european, which can sometimes lead to conflicts based on religious,cultural,and class differences. Parents need culture competent legal representation, and parent advocates to even out the tremendous uneven balance of power in the triangle of parent/child in care and the the psychiatric,legal,administrative establishment. your logo of the little child screaming in terror that the boat is so small and the ocean so huge, can also speak for the terror a mother feels when her child is removed from the home and termination of parental rights is recommended by the agency to the court when there is a trail of mismanagement, cover up and conspiracy against the parent who stands alone. Need your advice ASAP.
