Thanks Ann. There is one other thing going on here which I discovered doing a report for the Reagan Administration years ago. The Child Welfare people don't like cutting the cord by terminating parental rights because that can cut them out of the loop e.g. if the child is then adopted. Child Welfare HATES permanent solutions because then they can no longer intervene. The usual result is to keep the kid for years in foster child limbo, bounced back and forth from families to fosters, but maximizing the Child Welfare types' control and funding. Reforming the family gets added to their to-do list--and funding--as it that were remotely possible.
