<t>Worried nan,<br/> <br/> My sister had 6 weeks to clean up her act. First 2 weeks she was good, but even with that hanging over her, she slipped into her usual ways. The 6 weeks were great as it became so much easier once the parent is being monitored to just pick up the phone to SS and explain th...

<t>Each situation is different, but in some cases, if you do not allow contact with birth mother, that can count against you. You need to be willing to do what is best for child and a lot of the time, that is to keep the mother/child relationship alive.<br/> <br/> Like I said, each case is different...

<t>It is not a letter which you should pay someone to write. It requires no information, just something very straightforward.....Example. I am writing to give you my 3 months notice of intention to apply for an SGO for child x who lives with me at the above address.<br/> <br/> That's all you require...

<t>Are you likely to come up against opposition from anyone with parental responsibility? If not, it can be quite straightforward. <br/> <br/> I wrote to the LA myself to give them 3 months notice of my intention to apply for an SGO.

<t>So what the military think, and their admin is more important than the child? They did make your son an offer of quarters, but he refused? <br/> <br/> I am a military child, and I have moved around. Many people attend boarding school. I still fail to see how these reasons of inconvenience can ser...

<t>Why change to SGO when there's a system going on here? Your son has PR or did I read that wrong? You look after your sons child while he goes to work. And get paid by LA. 3 adult incomes and fostering allowance with christmas / other fostering bonuses to boot. <br/> <br/> If there are no problems...
