'This is a dangerous decision, and we've seen over and over again in [Massachusetts] that decisions like this were made and children didn't just suffer, they died.'
Rose was just five days old and born exposed to drugs, according to DCF records, when the Hegerichs opened their home and hearts to foster her in March of 2020. Those records show her biological parents have battled substance use disorder for years and lost custody of another daughter in 2019.
Rose was reunified with her mother for a short time in 2020, but was quickly placed back with Hegerichs. According to a police report and DCF records, her mom overdosed on the highway with Rose in the car while the baby's father was driving. DCF emails show Rose was supposed to have a few day visits and overnights with her mom in January before being permanently placed with her. She went for one overnight visit, her foster family raised concerns about her safety that night, and Rose was never returned home to say goodbye to the family she lived with since birth.This comes at a time when thousands of kids are lingering in the system for far too long.
"We have federal guidelines in place about how long a child should remain in care and when we should have permanency," said Robyn Hegerich.
