Is this even legal?

The answer, my friends, is NO.

I’ve been picking through the Emergency Removal Order with a fine-toothed comb, and found that DSS did not follow the Code of Virginia codes that they specificially cited in the ERO.

I will be reporting this to my attorney, and my husband to his.  Also discovered they circumvented a few laws to get our kids in foster care, instead of kinship care like they promised.  They promised our children they would go with grandma and grampa, and then filed the ERO, turning all of us family members, as well as the DSS worker into liars.

This is stage one of the fight.  I’m already prepping myself for a KO.  I sure hope the DSS and judge can handle it.

I want to mention that I will not now, nor will I ever badmouth the foster parent my children were placed with, unless I have good reason to suspect that she has mistreated my children.  I have met with her, and she does seem, outwardly at least to be a nice person.  We’ll see when we get our first visitation.  My children will tell me if something is up.  They don’t fear honesty with us, just as we don’t with them.
