Where is the father? What papers does DHS want your daughter to sign? What were you 'in the system' for?

Also... why are the children in foster care?

What is your relationship with your daughter?

What's the children's relationship with YOU?

How old are the children?

What did you fail to appear for? And do not say that you failed to appear for court. Because I have that part figured out.
