CPS - If your child was taken because you were using drugs while pregnant how long does it take to?

It can take a while, depending on who u are dealing with. I was in a similar situation a long long time ago. Did everything asked of me and still I felt like I was getting screwed. I got a job but my visitations were during the time I worked so they werent going to let me see my kids. They tried to let the foster parents adopt my kids when I was working to get them back. They tried to use child endangerment against me when in foster care my kids both got hurt in. Finally I went over my workers head and over my workers bosses head and logged a complaint. I also stated to make a diary of every thing that happened, no matter how small. I fought fire with fire. Finally they knew I was serious.Serious enough to to make me and my kids ginee pigs for a new program that they started where they put the mom and the kids all under one foster family which allowed them to stay together instead of splitting them up. I did my drug and alcohol classes, parenting classes, made every visit and proved to them my loyalty to my kids. If uve done everything and more, then demand ur rights as the parent. Do it smartly and respectfully. Keep in mind that alot of the caseworkers have seen the worst of the worst and after time forget the reason why they are there and may need to be reminded that there are good people who just made a bad decision still left in the world. I know how hard this can be for u right now but to this day I still feel as if it was one of the best things I have ever experienced. Dont get me wrong, Im not saying Im proud of it but man did I ever learn from it. No one ever taught me how to be a mom. I knew I loved my kids but I just didnt know how to raise them. My experince taught me how to stand up and fight for what mattered to me-my kids. And Ive never stopped fighting for them, even now 25 years later. Stay strong, love will get u through this!
