> Jenna, an independent woman with an intellectual disability, was excited
> about being a new mother following the birth of her baby daughter. However,
> while still in the hospital recovering from the delivery, child protective
> services removed the baby from Jenna's custody and placed her with a foster
> family. Jenna got only short, supervised visits with her because the child
> protection system deemed her incapable of parenting due to her disability.
> After more than a year of delays in the court system and without any
> evidence or accusations of maltreatment, the magistrate decided that CPS
> should maintain custody of Jenna's daughter. Jenna's Services and Supports
> Administrator reached out to DRO for help.
>
> DRO recognized the tremendous stakes involved when the government infringes
> on a fundamental civil right -- the right to parent your own child without
> interference. Working with Jenna's court-appointed attorney, DRO drafted an
> amicus brief to inform the court of the unique issues involved when a parent
> has a disability. The DRO brief documents the implicit bias and unfair
> treatment parents with disabilities face once they are involved in child
> protection systems. It also reminds the court that federal
> anti-discrimination laws, such as Section 504 and the ADA, say that child
> welfare proceedings and services cannot discriminate against parents based
> on their disability.
>
> As Jenna continues to fight to get her daughter back, DRO will support her
> fundamental right to parent her child and fight to dispel the false
> assumptions against parents with disabilities.
