I'm not taking it anymore.

I'm requesting a new ASW. Apparently ours has a problem with our "orientation", that we have an AA daughter (a white/Mexican couple shouldn't parent AA kids after all...), tells people that I don't feed Owl, and makes statements to people about me only doing therapy because it's something I HAVE to do.

I.AM.DONE! :@

I'm sorry things are going any more smoothly for you. Is it easy to get a new ASW?

We've never done it before and when I pleaded my case to our agency SW she said we had two options, a team decision meeting to address the issues with ASW which may not get us a new worker or they can file a grievance and request a new worker, we went with option 2. I don't know the process they/we will have to go through but hope it's done fairly quickly.

Butterfly, I'm sorry. Keep us updated. It sounds like everyone else on your team is on board, so hopefully this will be resolved and you'll be on your way to adopting the girls.

Also...if she has a problem with transracial adoption, I'm not sure why she's working in the foster care system. Argh!

What really bothers me about her is that she doesn't stay on top of things for Owl, I do all of the follow up that she should be doing, and she has the nerve to say that I am the reason Owl is the way she is and that I only do things (therapy, calling to check referrals, seeking new interventions, etc) because I am under a microscope and want to look good. Bitch please! I did all of this before her and her personal issue with me is causing her to to micromanage me to the point where she is neglectful of the case and I am fighting a losing battle.

Bah! I may be quiet but I am also a mom and will protect my family.

Ugh. I hope the grievance process goes quickly and smoothly and you have a new ASW soon. (((Hugs)))

Yuck. Keep us posted on your next steps.
