CPS Relative placements. Part 4 of 4

We were telling you a story taken from our files of a grandmother who was seeking relative placement for her grandchildren who had been missing.. If you missed the beginning, go back and read the other three parts;

Now as promised the rest of the story;

remember, the other state in which this grandmother resides continued to work towards this placement; they did what our state should have done. They completed the background check on this grandmother and home inspection, highly recommending this placement, etc. CPS in AZ ignored their recommendations and adopted the children to another party.
The social worker of the person hoping to adopt the children informed this person that the grandmother would not raise her grandchildren, she would see to it, a close friend of the social worker reported this to the grandmother.
Bottom line, even though CPS knew of this grandmother's qualifications and her efforts to meet the requirements, a non-relative adopted the children right out from under her.
Relative placement?

The reason we are sharing this story; You see, your examiner is a witness that relative placements only happen if CPS wants them to happen, or if the relatives have the price of justice. CPS bypasses state statutes, or changes rules as they need them changed.

Remember; "lady justice wears a price tag on her sleeve"

Possibly, there are facts that we were not aware of in play here, even though every step we took was in accordance to the proper methods, according to our state statutes CPS chose to ignore Statutes (rules)we the people are required to follow rule

This is just one example; our files are full of them, we do not always win.
