Question:

I am in a foster home that I am finally happy with. I am being forced to visit my biological mother and the plan is for me to go back and live with her. I don't want to. Can CPS make me?

Answer:

If you have a guardian ad litem (GAL) or a court appointed special advocate (CASA), you may want to let them know what your wishes are. You can also write a letter to the court and let the court know what you want. It is likely that CPS and the court will decide what is in your best interest and make a decision based on that. However, you can let the court and CPS know what your wishes are.

On 10/16/08 D from TX said: I don't know your circumstances, but as you can see I'm from Texas, and my children got wrongly taken away from me 5 yrs. ago, there initials' are J.R. and J.P, and I wish I could have them back, because God knows it kills me every day that they're not with me. Like I said I don't know your situation but if they don't harm you, then I don't know why you wouldn't want to go back. My boys should be 12 and 10 now, and I hope that they ever had the chance to come home that they would.
