You've got my attention now! I did some CASA work a few years ago and I can say that it was emphasized continuously that the ultimate goal was always reunification with the birth parent(s). We were cautioned to not make assumptions or compare to the way we were raised or raised our children. Every effort by cps and the courts was made to help the parents and place the children back in their homes or with relatives. I learned a lot about what I assumed was best for kids and that we can do so much more to help these families.
