Experience with social workers?

I am starting college for Social Work this fall. I want to eventually work in foster care, adoption, substance abuse, and possibly counseling for women and teenagers. I was wondering what has your experience working as or with a social worker been? If you have worked as a social worker, what field were in, what was the best and hardest part of your career? What has your most memorable experience? And for those who have had a social worker, how was your experience with them? What was your situation? If you could give any advice to your case worker on what they could have done better what would it have been?

I additionally am a foster parent, and one in each of my foster daughters (while she grew to develop into an person, age 24) positioned her toddler up for adoption, laughingly sufficient we desperate that the adoption expert at our business enterprise replaced into the suitable individual to undertake this new toddler.

After investigating, i found out she replaced into precise. i think of delivery mothers might desire to be advised of their "criminal or legaless rights" till now the adoption.
