Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am referring specifically to agreements that parents would sign as part of the course of action that would be required to have their children back in their homes. I have worked with a number of families in my community in this area to try to see what can be done to ensure that they are doing the right thing. At the same time, their rights as parents are not being infringed upon. That is why I ask in the case of parents who do sign an agreement for a plan of care for their children, it might require sometimes giving funds to the department for care of their children in another home or homes that they might identify. When they sign this agreement and they have problems and circumstances change and they would like to get a change in that, how is that done? Once they sign it, it is done, stick with it until the end or you do not get your children. Or is there a way of going back by agreement between the staff and parents to ensure again that both sides are able to follow through with what was initially planned? Thank you.
