I am sorry for your loss, and for the child’s. I know of one such case where a good foster couple, fully intending to adopt, did a heroic rehab job on a young girl and had her on solid ground before DCM came back into the picture. The couple fought to retain custody but the judge put reunification as the top priority. Within a year, the girl, now a young teenager, was addicted and DCM was prostituting her for drug money. Some judges are going to burn in hell.
Social workers too.
