Thank you for supporting children being with their biological family. My brother was homeless and had a substance abuse problem when he had his daughter. He didn’t tell us he had a child. She is 2 years old we just found out about her existing. We are trying to get her back
Reunification is definitely supposed to be the goal whenever possible! If she hasn’t already been adopted, then you stand a chance!
My husband and I are finishing our foster certification now and we’re LA-based, too. Your videos are helping me prep immensely! Thank you for taking the time to make them. I’ll be sharing this one specifically with friends & family to help them understand our role in all of this. Best wishes, be well and stay safe! :)
You got this! That's amazing, welcome to the craziness that is LA foster care!
Im so glad i found ur channel, im fostering my niece and nephews and im entering the next phase.. either guardian or adoption. Trying to do my research
Wishing you so much luck and an easy road ahead with whichever you choose ❤️
I'm in your same boat right now. We've had our Foster Son for two months and we love him so much. We're getting our minds wrapped around preparing for him to go back to his parents. We don't have a date but maybe in another six weeks. We got him two days before he turned 4 months and now he's six months. We've been doing all the milestone things with him which is causing the attachment to be greater. But we love everything moment.
It's so hard! But I always tell myself he will leave in a much better situation than when he arrived, and I'll have the milestones to remember him by!
@@AngelaDeeVlogs this just happened to me...I'm a little heartbroken. .but it's best. Right? I'm wondering where they've been all these years...
I pray you get to adopt buster
Happy Mother's Day Angela! You're doing an amazing job!
Thanks, Say Say!
Single foster parent in Los Angeles too!! Watching my first of your videos. 19 second in. Happy Mother's Day!
Hooray! We’re a great bunch! Thank you and I hope you had a Happy Mother’s Day!
I thought u was gunna say he leaving, i was gunna be sad 😩 happy Mother’s Day !!
He's with me for the time being--not sure what the near future holds, but I hope whatever happens is in his best interest and that he gets love and affection wherever he goes!
And thank you!!!
Angela Dee Vlogs yea i know and understand I’m a foster mama too, letting go is the hardest but it’s worth it and i pray all the time that they have endless love after me 🥰 I’m waiting on a little one now...
@@talibhawilliams1247 Oh my goodness, how long have you been currently waiting? That's the hardest part, I think! Although, after officially getting licensed, I didn't have to wait long for Buster :P
Angela Dee Vlogs so i just did my finger prints... but they told me a few weeks because they are so backed up and they need homes open so I’m not going to be waiting long
Happy Mother’s Day!!
Thank you so much for all this information
We don’t get babies in our county very often. We got a two month old in angst 2019. Everything has been really drug out and we are just now getting to the adoption stage.
LA county unfortunately gets a lot of infants. Fingers crossed everything goes well for you! That timeline is considered incredibly fast where I am-our course system is incredibly slow.
Angela Dee Vlogs we are in quite a different situation from yours. I really enjoy your videos; we were emergency certified for our little guy and it’s been a roller coaster but it’s definitely a wonderful experience and your doing a great job!
LOVE your vlogs!! Thank you for acknowledging that children of color are removed from their families at a higher rate than white kiddos. I was a parent coach in communities experiencing disenfranchisement in a multitude of ways and really got an inside look on how monetarily beneficial it was for the systems of oppression to keep families "down" instead of offering resources they need.
Thank you so much
Happy 1st Mother’s Day to you!
Thank you!
When you get them from the hospital, what’s the process? Are you able to hold them & do skin to skin and have the nurses tell you everything they know about the baby? Do they check that you have the proper car seat? They would have to have formula theyve already give them, etc. How much info do you get?
Watching this one again as well...I'm a resource parent in DC...and the not knowing part is depressing... anything could happen and you have zero say so...
It’s true! Probably the hardest part!
Would you want to adopt him if parental rights are terminated and he is elegible?
For sure--next in line after the parents is biological family, though. So they'd have adoption preference.
Hello. I'm in tears right now because my parents just told me i'm going to foster care. I'm weak, vulnerable, confused, afraid and overall worried. I love my parents but sometimes I feel uncomfortable, timid, and intimidated around my parents. I need help. I need guidance. I need advice. If you could provide, thank you.
Oh my! I’m so sorry you’re going through this!
I’m a foster mom to babies, so I don’t have much insight. Make sure you have the phone number for your case worker (also called a social worker) as they’re the ones that’ll be looking after you and checking up on your foster family to make sure everything is ok.
Good luck! Thinking of you and wishing you the best!
Do the bio parents get to have contact with you and their kid. Like visits, calls, video calls. Or are they cut off from direct contact?
They do! It’s called family time. When we aren’t social distancing, it’s all in person. I know right now a lot of places are just doing virtual.
Foster families who have a bond SHOULD have preferences! We need to get the laws adjusted.
Situationally, I definitely agree. Especially for those foster parents that have literally had children in their homes for YEARS.
A foster family should not come before biological family that is fit to care for a child.
