The Process

A lot of people have expressed concern about Logan and asked where he is now, and what will happen next.

Right now, Logan is at a children's hospital.  The reason he is there was simply to remove him from a situation.  The hospital is not a long term solution, nor should it be.  Call it "crisis management", because that's what it is.

In order to place a child in a group home, you have to go through your local MH/MR organization.  You have a service coordinator.  The service coordinator gives you paperwork to fill out in order to find the best possible location for your child.

There are a lot of misconceptions about group homes.  People think that when you put your child in there, you don't have any say over what happens to them, that you will never see them again, or that sort of thing.

But that's not true.  We don't have to accept the first placement they come up with.  And we can see him any time we want to, take him out for outings, and eventually bring him home for visits.

I hope this clears up some confusion and eases some of the worry that people are experiencing.
