Q: I had found a foster parent guide manual on NYC. Gov and this is what it states.
The agency must obtain the birth parents’ consent for a foster child to be baptized. All religious certificates (baptism, first communion, confirmation, etc.) must be recorded in the child’s legal name, never in the name of the foster parent. Neither the agency nor the foster parent had any consent of either me birth mother or birth father to do so. When I spoke to the worker which the agency is Forestdale Inc said it was okay
A: David's Answer: You may potentially have a claim, yes, but you would need to prove the foster care knew about it in advance & approved of the foster parent doing it in violation of the state regulations. For a full assessment of the situation, I'd advise to schedule a consultation with a NYC Civil Rights attorney, particularly one with experience with the foster care system. -- David Bliven, Bronx Civil Rights attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
