kinship carer for grandchildren?
Posted: Mon Jun 15, 2020 3:45 pm
First post on here but need advice please.
After a crisis situation with my daughter whom is a drug user I looked after my two grandchildren for nearly 3 weeks at the request of the Social worker. I was assessed as temporary foster carer. Unfortunately at that time I was unwell and really stressed from the crisis situation so that I told the Social worker I could not look after them for longer than 3 weeks. I am 70 yrs old and live alone and the children are 5yrs old and 2yrs old. They were then placed with foster carers.
Now my grandson is saying he wants to be with me, I feel healthier and more able to look after them now, is it possible to have them living with me whilst the court process is continuing.?
Any advice appreciated.
