Question reguarding drug screen

[MamaAR]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

I have agreed to watch a baby taken away from DCF in the custody of someone else.

The Custodian told me DCF would do a home check, and that I would have to take a drug test.

The drug test would be taken at home, while she is here.

Is this right, I thought DCF had people go to a facility somewhere?

I do not drink or take any drugs, barely take tylonal or ibuprofen. It makes me uncomfortable to have my urine driven around and at risk to be tainted.

You can request that the test be taken in a facility somewhere, this for the reasons you state.

It probably won't be a urine test. They have these new saliva tests that they use instead.
