Heading: Hannah's Foster Custody April 2008 To 2010

Text: Since being taken into OCS custody in April 2008, Hannah and her half-brother Kevin have been in four foster placements. In April 2008 they occupied their first foster home, but when those foster parents moved away, Hannah and Kevin were moved to a new foster placement with the Weavers, which lasted from April 25, 2008 until June 2009. In June 2009 OCS placed Hannah and Kevin with their maternal grandfather and his wife. In October 2009, shortly before David's parental rights were terminated, David's mother, Claire, filed a motion seeking placement with her. The record does not detail what happened to this motion, but presumably it was denied because David's parental rights were terminated and custody with the maternal grandparents continued. In January 2010 Claire sought visitation with Hannah, and the grandparents agreed to limited telephonic and in-person visitation. In May 2010, six months after David's parental rights were terminated, OCS removed Hannah and Kevin from the grandparents and placed them once more with the Weavers. The record does not reveal the reasons for this change, with OCS indicating only that the placement was disrupted. Hannah has an individual education plan with her school district, and she has been classified as having several special needs. She has been diagnosed as having fetal alcohol effects though she does not have the full FASD. At the time of the termination trial she received speech and language therapy and occupational therapy.
