How to write an appeal letter to dcfs Pdf

Dear DCFS,

I am writing to you today to appeal my case of neglect. I feel that I have been unfairly accused, and I would like a chance to explain myself.

My daughter is a very sweet little girl, who loves to help out around the house. She is always willing to clean up after herself and often asks if she can do things like wash the dishes or fold her laundry.

I know that it can be difficult for children her age to understand what is expected of them, but I also know that she has tried her best.

I think we were both confused by this situation and hope that we can resolve it quickly so we can get back on track with our family life.

Dear Department of Children and Family Services,

I am writing to appeal your decision to take my children. I believe that I can provide a safe home for them, and I hope you will reconsider your decision.

I know that you have concerns about my ability to parent my children properly. I understand that you want what is best for them. But I must tell you that the last two months have been very difficult for me and my family. My husband lost his job, and we had no income for nearly three months before he found another one. During this time, we had to rely on food stamps and other government programs to help us make ends meet.

If there was any way I could have found work outside of the home during this period of unemployment, I would have done so, but unfortunately there were no jobs available in my field (teaching). Additionally, because we have no savings or assets (we live paycheck-to-paycheck), it would not have been safe for me to leave my children with a babysitter while I worked outside of the home or took classes at night school to improve my skills.

Now that my husband has found a new job and our finances are getting back on track, we can finally begin saving money again—and eventually build

Dear DCFS,

I am writing to appeal the decision to terminate my parental rights. I have been a parent since [date], and I have always done my best to provide for my child.

I understand that this is not a decision you take lightly. I want to assure you that I am committed to being a good parent and taking care of my child. If you give me another chance, I will do everything in my power to make it up to you.

If you would like more information, please contact me at [phone number]. Thank you for your consideration!

Dear Department of Children and Family Services,

I am writing this letter to appeal the decision that was made in my case. I have been very involved in my son’s life for the past two years, and I believe that he would be better off with me at this time. I am currently living with my boyfriend and his family, who have been very supportive of me since I moved out of my parents’ home. They are willing to provide a stable home environment for my son while he grows up.

I am currently attending school full-time, working part-time at [insert employer name], and planning to graduate next year with a degree in computer science.

My parents have been very supportive throughout this process, but they do not have the same resources available to them that my boyfriend’s family does—they don’t live near us, so they can’t provide support on a daily basis; they don’t have access to daycare for their granddaughter (who is also not in school yet); and they don’t have the same financial means as we do (we pay for everything). My boyfriend’s family has offered to help pay for things like daycare if necessary, which would give me some much-needed financial relief.

Dear DCF,

I am writing to you today because I feel that it is important to make a case for my rights as a parent. I would like to ask that you reconsider the decision to remove my children from my care and place them with another family.

The background: My husband and I have been married for nearly ten years, and we have been trying to have children for almost as long. We have been through several rounds of infertility treatments in order to conceive, but nothing has worked. Finally, about a year ago, we decided that we wanted to pursue adoption instead of more medical intervention.

We found an agency that works with international families, and we decided to adopt from Russia. We went through all of the necessary paperwork and background checks before the adoption process began; however, when we arrived at our home country’s embassy in Moscow, they told us there was some kind of mix-up with our paperwork and they could not proceed with our application. They said if they sent us back home now it would look suspicious—and so they put us up in an apartment with other families waiting for their adoptions to go through. But then one morning when my husband left

How to write an appeal letter to dcfs

Dear DCFS,

I am writing to appeal the decision that you made regarding my family. I strongly feel that the findings of your investigation were incorrect, and I am hoping that you will consider overturning the ruling.

My wife and I have been married for 5 years, and we have three children. Our oldest child is 3 years old, and our youngest is just 1 month old. We are a loving family who takes very good care of our children. The youngest was born with a rare condition called [condition], which requires extensive medical treatment. It has been difficult for us to get all of the care he needs on our own, and so we decided that we would contact you for assistance with covering some of his expenses.

I understand that [child] has been removed from our home due to concerns regarding his health and welfare while in our care. However, I believe this ruling was based on false information provided by an unreliable source—namely, my neighbor [name]. You see, [name] has never liked me because she believes that her son should have gotten custody of our children instead of me doing so when their parents divorced last year. She has since made it her mission to destroy any chance

Dear DCFS,

This is a letter of appeal for [name here]. I am writing to you because I am concerned about [name here]’s well-being.

I believe that [name here] should remain in my care because:

[list reasons for why you think the child should remain in your care]

[Describe your relationship with the child and offer details about how you interact with them.]

Dear DCFS:

I am writing this letter to appeal the recent decision to take away my child’s custody. I have always been a good parent, and I can provide evidence of this if necessary. Additionally, I have been working hard to improve my life and make sure that my child is taken care of properly. While she has been living with me, I have seen her grow into a happy, healthy young lady who loves music and dancing.

I cannot stress enough how much she means to me. She is my whole world—my reason for waking up every day. I would never do anything to hurt her or put her in danger. The fact that you would even consider taking her from me is heartbreaking and devastating.

Please let me know if there is anything else you need from me or if there are any other issues that need to be addressed before your final decision can be made on this matter.

Dear DCF:

My name is [name], and I am writing to you today because I am concerned about the welfare of my family. I know that you are there to help people like me, but in this case, I feel like you may be making things worse.

I have three children, and they are all going through some difficult times right now. My oldest child [name] has been struggling with some personal issues that have been affecting his performance at school and his relationships with friends and family. He needs some time to work through these issues without getting into trouble at home or in school.

My second child [name] has been doing well in school, but recently she has started skipping class without any explanation or excuse from me or her teachers (she is 16). When we ask her what’s wrong, she says “nothing,” but we know something is going on because she’s been acting very secretive lately. We just want her to take some time off from school so we can figure out what’s going on with her before it gets worse.

Finally, my youngest child [name] has just gotten into trouble with the law after being arrested for possession of marijuana at a party last weekend where drugs were being

Dear [name],

I am writing to you today to ask that you reconsider the decision to remove my child from my care. I believe my child is safe and happy in my care, and I have taken all of the steps necessary to ensure that they are well cared for.

I understand that in your opinion, I may not be the best parent for this child. However, I have made a commitment to them and I will do everything in my power to ensure that their needs are met.

The purpose of this letter is not to convince you that I am perfect; rather, it is simply an appeal for you to consider all of the facts before making a final decision regarding my status as a parent. If you decide that my child should remain with me, then please give me some time to show that I can provide what they need.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and for considering its contents carefully.
