Child Welfare Case Summary

DRE, A.P.C. recently handled a complex child welfare case where our client's children were removed from her care due to concerns of neglect and substance abuse. These are incredibly challenging situations, and our firm understood the profound emotional toll such proceedings take on families. Our immediate focus was on supporting our client through this difficult period and advocating for her parental rights.

Despite a period of relapse and absence, the DRE, A.P.C. team worked diligently to secure reinstated visitation for our client, allowing her to reconnect with her children. While a subsequent motion to reinstate reunification services was denied by the court, our client's sustained efforts and progress were formally acknowledged during the proceedings. This demonstrated her commitment to positive change even in the face of setbacks.

Ultimately, in a courageous and selfless act, our client made the difficult decision to agree to her children's adoption by their caregiver, who was also her sister. This decision was made with the children's wishes for a stable, permanent home firmly in mind. DRE, A.P.C. proudly represented her through this moving resolution in court, ensuring her voice was heard and her choice supported, leading to a stable outcome for the children.
