Hi I am suffering difficultys with social services myself regarding fostering, I have two children aged 4 and 20 months and my eldest has been in Kin-ship foster care for 4 months with my consent at the time due to severe depression although my youngest remains in my care, social services have told me that if I withdraw my consent they'll start proceedings on my youngest with who they have no issues with... They have done this and it is blackmail, they have no concerns over my care but still won't hand my daughter back, they cut my contact from anytime I wanted to once a month so I didn't "unsettle" her, it seems social services prefer children to be in foster care rather than at home and they will use anything little thing wether true or not to stop you getting then back, did you sign a section 20 or did they get a court order?
