An excerpt:

But soon, the men learned they had a new social worker - their 11th. Theirs was her very first case, and she stated up front that she was going to push for "reunification" with the babies and their birth mother. Paulson said the social worker told them: "Surely you know the kids would be more loved with their birth mother."

Paulson asked incredulously, "Have you read the notes on this case?"

"Oh, yes," the woman reportedly replied. "But I think they are exaggerating the schizophrenia. Who would have had sex with her if she was that crazy? Besides, the love of two men can never replace the love of a woman. A woman knows that kind of thing."

Welcome to being a foster parent. You are not the permanent parent; you are a temporary parent. It doesn't matter if you're a "better parent" because they aren't your kids.

Someone didn't read the fine print of their foster care agreement.
