What happens if the ex says NO

[angel31dust]

My sw has had a chat with my ex husband about me fostering. I have a 6 yr old with my ex who lives with me. He states that he cannot consent to his child being involved in such things. My sw has never come across this and is going to find out what now. I wondered if anyone else has been in this situation and what the outcome was. I am so worried as the sw says we seem such ideal fostering candidates.

I'm just bumping for you as I have no advice. Hopefully someone wiser will come along soon x

Surely he has to qualify that statement or else it looks spiteful.

thats awful. i think he would need to 'back it up' but im not sure. hope someone helps soon.

Just to let you all know my sw spoke to his manager and apparently if the ex says no then that's it. You cannot foster. How unfair is that!!!
I have arranged for him and his partner to come over Sunday and discuss his concerns. Hopefully I can put his mind at ease. Fingers tightly crossed on that one.
I will update after the meeting. It's make or break time wish me luck.

good luck, I'm crossing my fingers for you.

Oh that is harsh! Hoping that your Ex and his partner listen to you, and you can all work things out

do let us know how you get on
