AAA resolution assessment

[MR5B00]

11 years ago my eldest was taken into foster care with non accidental injuries I didn’t know how or who but they courts ruled adoption as both myself and my husband could not be ruled out of pool or perpetrators and since they refused to look elsewhere we was the only ones in it, then I had another 2 children that was taken into care and adopted I had a negative psychological assessment in 2017 which was when I lost my daughter, it was recommended we did therapy but I wasn’t in the mental place to do it after she was adopted and then forgot about it entirely, last year myself and my husband decided we wanted to try have another child, since for 3 years I’d been allowed unsupervised contact with my niece overnight stays and everything and I could supervise my husband (her social worker approved this in 2022) We fell pregnant November last year and we have engaged with the social workers the whole time and a few weeks before my son was born they told me that they would be going to court as they still didn’t know the risks of a child being with us as we still couldn’t explain what happened to our eldest, our parenting has never been in question it’s simply the unknown of the injuries and I get that, we have recently had a updated psychological which we are awaiting the report but we are also doing an AAA Resolution assessment too, all the contact is positive and we’re being assessed together and separately as I can’t go through losing another child has anyone been successful with the resolution assessments before I’m losing hope that I’m going get him home (I can still have unsupervised contact with my niece)

Dear MR5B00,

Thank for your post. My name is Suzie and I am the online adviser at Family Rights Group.

I am sorry to hear about the difficult circumstances that you have been through over the past 11 years. It must have been extremely distressing for you when your children were adopted. Congratulations on the birth of your youngest son, but I am sorry to hear that the decision was made to remove him from your care just a few weeks before he was born.

You ask if anyone else has had an AAA Resolution Assessment and has been successful in having their child returned to their care. I hope that if there are any parents on this forum who have experienced this that they will respond to your post.

It sounds like you are working well with children’s services and are doing everything you can to have your baby son returned to your care. Please continue to do so, and seek support from friends and family, or therapeutic support if this would be helpful. MATCH mothers provide confidential, emotional support to mothers who are living apart from their children – you might find it helpful to ring them if you feel it would be helpful to speak with someone. They can be contacted on 0800 689 4104.

I hope that this is helpful. Please post again if you have any other questions. You can also call our free, confidential adviceline on 0808 801 0366 to speak with an adviser.

Best wishes,
Suzie, Family Rights Group Adviser
