Hi. I am 17 years old and am reaching the end of care proceedings where my new born child was placed on an interim care order. everything was going well and she was being rehabilitated back into my care.
I have been seeing a psychologist from Camhs who was determining if i had an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. on our second session she visited in my home for the purpose of conducting tests. My child was on an unsupervised contact with myself during the visit so my partner held her, while on a chair in the same room to leave me free to do what was needed. However, the next day my social worker said the psychologist had concerns because i do not have an attachment to my daughter because i did not glance up at her enough throughout the hour session with her.
The Local authority have now decided not to rehabilitate my daughter back to me but are going for forced adoption on the weight of what the psychologist said.
Can someone explain if it is at all possible for a psychologist to actually determine this in such a short space of time.
everything has been positive up until then with other professionals stating there is definitely an attachment between us. Thanks
