“Theoretically, a state dependency court would determine whether it is in a child’s best interests to be reunited w/a parent, even if the parent has been removed or is facing imminent removal,” said Carlos Holguin, a lawyer who has represented thousands of children in federal custody.

If a judge decided against returning a child to a migrant parent & no US relative was available, the child might be placed in until he or she reached… 18, Holguin said.

U.S. CITIZEN CHILDREN AT BORDER UNDER & PUT IN FOSTER SYSTEM

While foreign-born children were transferred to shelters operated by the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement, where they were entered into federal databases & eventually allowed to speak w/their parents by phone, there was no such system for children dispatched to state systems.

When I worked as a family dispute resolution practitioner, the week before Christmas was always distressing as many separated couples had left it too late to get an appointment.

They were heading towards a Christmas fraught with conflict about which one of them the children would spend the day with. And we knew that often that conflict would completely destroy Christmas for those children.

If you're in that situation please remember that as parents your actions influence your children. You can influence whether they will have lovely memories or traumatic ones. Your children, when they're older, may either look back on their childhood & realise that even though it was hard, you put them first; or they may think you were dicks & preferenced your own issues. They will remember.

Please show them your kindness. They want to be allowed to love you both.

I DO know it's hard. I've been there, as a child of separated parents & as a separated parent myself.

When I worked as a Family Dispute Resolution practitioner, the lead up to Christmas was always especially chaotic. Separated couples, enmeshed in distress and conflict, would leave it to the last minute to negotiate care arrangements for their children over the holidays, and often the needs of those children became lost among the parents' perceived "rights".

I no longer work in that sector. But I recently came across this poem which is a beautiful reminder that we do not own our children.
