My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Oregon
My daughter was removed from our home this week and placed with her grandaughter. I was told to leave the home for a while due to my drinking. I met with the caseworker and she said that the custody of my daughter is temporary foster care. I will have a hearing that will formalize the temporary custody and will be ordered to complete alcohol treatment. The case will then be reviewed in 60 days to see waht progress has been made. The caseworker said that it is possible that if I do everything I am supposed to do, my daughter can return home. I admit to my drinking problem and welcome the help. I have not drank in 13 days and have attended 22 AA meetings in 4 days. I also took the initiative to register for outpatient alcohol treatment instead of waiting for the DHS referral. My questions are: will my effort show favorably during the first hearing? Is it plausible that my daughter will return after 60 days? The caseworker seemed very caring and genuine.
