Good Day

I need advise how to handle a sensitive case around a foster child....The parents(in Stellenbosh) ask me for help to take their daughter in my care(in Gauteng) until they are on their feet again .There was only a piece of paper agreement signed by both parents. No social worker involved (they ask me not to go that route)Long story short...The parents does not live together and the mother was not working at that stage.The biological father is working and was supposed to move to gauteng to be close to his daughter (then we would have been the support system),but it is now 3 months later and he is still not here. ...he is currently only paying her schoolfees and now the mother started to work for R1000p/week and there is still another child in their care. Do I send the girl back to them ?Or do I approach the social worker . I don't want to send her back cause I picked up neglection of her care on the mother side. I don't want to be in bad terms with the mother and father but feel they do not look after their children properly and feel they are just using me cause they need a " break."

For the expenses ..I have 4 children ..last one is doing her Matric this year and will be going to university after that. I told the father of the child he can give me the rest of the money that he used to pay the mother to pay for the schoolfees .Then I can buy her whatever she needed.Till today nothing was paid although he gave me money for her birthday to buy presents. In the meantime I got her with no proper clothes (mostly all where too small or worn out) I managed to get her new ones for the winter .The mother is getting Grant money from the goverment and did not cancel it. I feel I can rather claim and get money for her to buy whatever she need to have a normal childhood without any shortage. The child never ask for her mom or dad(stephfather) and don't ask to go home ...I had to ask her nicely to phone and speak to them over the phone to keep the conversation active.

Now what do I do next? Do I keep her till they think they can afford her ? Or do I tell them to take her before she get too attached in our way of living? I am so scared for the child sake cause she seemed very happy with us ...She is 7 years old ...never had a birthday before did not know when her birthday was...she adapt well in grade r and managed to get het ready for grade 1 next year (she was not ready for grade 1)She made friends and love her school. All this things is so new to her cause the parents never took efford to have her in a school and play with friends.

Am I doing the right thing so far or did I make this worse by giving her too much?
