Story
Two children in foster care are being reunified with their mom under a trial home visit in one week. Mom has done extensive work completing services and has been sober for 8 months. During the case, mom learned she was expecting another baby. The other two children are school age, so mom does not have any of their baby items anymore, and she does not have the money to buy all of the baby things she needs. She is due in one month, and only has a bassinette so far. The county has been providing her with gas cards and assisting her with getting signed up for WIC and other assistance to aid in her success, and she has been doing her part to follow through with everything. The county and mom would like to ensure new baby never becomes part of the foster system by eliminating safety concerns that would be a result of financial barriers if mom isn't able to afford the things she needs to keep baby safe.
