Does anyone want to talk

I can't say yes or no whether the same people are there. @ArraDreaming But when you make an enquiry, you don't need to give them all your details. They may just ask your first name so they can address you as a human.

Do what? Give your first name? @ArraDreaming

Why would it? @ArraDreaming

As you said, you don't have anything to hide.

My suggestion to call them is purely to help stop the rumination of these unhelpful thoughts. You can let them know that your past, and talk to them about how you want the best for your children, then ask anything you want.

It sounds like you have so many questions, but because we are not child protection experts, it's not right we answer them. Therefore, the best people to ask is the service themselves. For example, you asked about taking one child or not taking one child. etc.

If you make this phone call, hopefully it will settle some of those apprehensions and fears that you have.

Anyway, I'm going to start wrapping up and I wont' see you until mid week. If you call, I'd be interested to know how it goes.

Do you think they don't have anything better to do? @ArraDreaming

Just tell them you are calling and asking all these questions to help you put aside some of the fears you have about having your children taken away.

Anyway, you can't call right now, so how about putting it aside tonight and considering it again tomorrow?
