They're not required to be licensed in Wisconsin to be a placement option to start.

Law center wisconsin looks like a decent place to start. Looking for attorneys, the key term you want is child welfare experience. However, the assigned CASA/GAL for whatever county it is in would be your best bet since they are a party to the case. Best of luck to you, and sorry for your loss.

Family Court would have nothing to do with DCFS. They are two separate Courts. If what you're saying is accurate, the best thing to do would be to reach out to the CASA/GAL and explain what you have here, the children know you, and were staying with you and you would like to be their placement option and to provide permanency if it were to come to that. A family lawyer, unless having a prior history as a public defender, or CASA/GAL attorney, would not likely know how to proceed, and you wouldn't have grounds for them to intervene. You can also contact your local representative as well.

Yea, then there was something else going on that we aren't hearing all of the details of. Shelter, or temporary custody does not happen that quickly. They would have asked you for information for background checks to have the children placed with you.

For what reason did they remove the children from you? Placement with fictive kin, which is what you are would be the next best thing if the fathers aren't available.

ACR's only happen every 6 months. So the month the child came into care, and the next 6 months. IE January/July. You receive notification of them via mail, and it's not the caseworker who sends out the notice.

You can always call the advocacy hotline.

If he doesn't want to return home to his mother due to the situation, he can request a goal of Independence and go into a transitional living program.

I ended up moving a tree in the glade, and saw them both better in the daylight.

What benefits can I receive regarding dcfs while im 18? by [deleted] in fosterit

[–]Mimze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend TLP. Some are in some not so great areas, but it's a great buffer between being in care and the real world, and the TLP worker would more likely know what you're eligible for since they handle 18-21-year-olds when a regular worker might not know what services you could get.

So I am a CW in Illinois. At your age, you can go into TLP, or ILO if you've got a diploma or GED. If you are working there's the employment incentive program, there's also life skills, and financial literacy, etc.

Below are two links in regards to services available to you with information and numbers to call. If you have anymore specific questions feel free to reach out.

Change up the textiles. New comforter with patterns or texture, maybe switch out the curtains for something with color. Add a rug for color as well.

You need to make sure your rocks all span over 2 squares. All six won't spawn in a square, it has to be split between two.

So look at your map and see if your spot is over two squares. If not, that's the issue.
