Referral for a drug test
My husband and I received a notice in November of 24 that his child was put into foster care in April of 24. We didn’t know he had one. We went and had the DNA test done and I asked them why did it take so long for them to reach out to us. We adore children and would have taken the child in a heart beat. They said that the mother refused to say who the father was. Well he is the father! We have been doing everything they have thrown at us. The case manager comes every month, looks through the house, he’s taken several random drug tests, I just had my parental assessments done, and he goes to get his done next week. Fingerprints/background checks will be done next week as well! He has been able to start visiting her every weekend! But unfortunately I haven’t been able to meet her yet due to not being drug tested. We’ve messaged the case manager about it with no response. I emailed with the supervisor about it and she relayed the message to the case manager to get it done. I even offered to pay out of pocket and go take one from our local Labcorp. I got to talk to the case manager this past Friday and asked to make sure that she put in the referral to have me drug tested. I feel bad for pestering but I really do want to meet with the child so she can get used to me and have a great connection. I feel like I am being impatient but I just really want to see and play and make a connection and get her out of foster care so she can have the home she deserves.
My question is, does anyone know how long it takes for when they do put in the referral how soon can they come and drug test me? I’m just I guess seeking reassurance maybe in the next week or two.
