Really need some help and advice!!
Hi all amazing mums out there!
I have literally gone to everything I can think of.
Me and my partner had a baby boy in December 2016, since October 2016 we have had Children Services (CS) involved due to a misunderstanding. They agreed to help us with pregnancy, our mental health and support us in anyway they could. At first we had a really nice social worker and also a support worker(SW). A week before I gave birth our SW changed. When our little boy arrived we had a discharge meeting at hospital - apparently there were concerns with me feeding him (Hospital tried telling CS I didn't feed him for 6 hours - which is a horrendous accusation and also not true)
After one more day in hospital the SW told me I had to choose from three options - 1. Go into foster care placement with my little boy without partner 2. Go into a residential family assessment unit which my partner could join after one week. (SW told me it would only be for four weeks, which ended up being nearly 3 months)
The final option was go home and they took my baby away.
Of course this being a whole new experience for me as being my first child, I chose the assessment unit.
After a hell of a fight through the assessment and not even getting a christmas in February I decided to voluntary put my little boy into care under the Childrens act 1989 Section 20.
Since then it has been a battle to get my little man back. Hes now six months old and we have contact with him 3 days a week for an hour.
We have done everything the CS have asked us to do, including seeking medical help, having a psychologists assessment.
We are due to appear in court on 12th July to see if our little boy can return home. I just need some advice on who I can turn to for help and support as we aren't getting much of it at the moment.
Now they are talking about adoption!! Don't know what to do or think anymore
Thank you
BE AWARE THIS ISNT THE FULL EXTENT OF STORY.
