Does anyone know where the so called bill of rights for colorado came from on the nfpa website? There is no reference or citation to a statute like there is for the other states. I am in a situation where the courts and county have blatantly ignored rights.
Foster parents have a right to reasonable notification of changes in the case plan or termination of the placement and the reasons for the changes or termination of placement.
Foster parents have the right, after fostering the child for six months or more, or committing to being a long-term placement resource for the foster child, to automatically become a party to the court action concerning the child, unless they request not to do so.
Foster parents who have had a child placed in their home for six months or longer have a right to be considered an “expert” on this child and an “interested party” according to the Colorado Children’s Code.
Foster parents have the right to accurate, detailed information about a child’s progress or lack thereof, after that child leaves their care for the duration of the “D & N”. They have a right to be respected as an ongoing advocate and interested party for that child, including visitation with that child.
A child was in my home for over 7 months, he was removed abruptly without any notice to me or any allegations of wrongdoing on my part, they wont let me see him or talk to him (although he called anyway), the judge has not ruled on my motion to intervene and contrary to the above foster parents are not "automatically" parties to the case, there is no court hearing for over 60 days from the date he was removed, and the removal is a decision not supported by his therapist.
