Can Foster parents get rid of the kids clothes?

My kids are in foster care. We gave them quite a few clothes for our kids. Some of them they got from christmas and my daughter got new clothes for her birthday in Feburary. The fostermom told me that she out grew all of the clothes. So I asked her over a month ago for the clothes back. I give them to a friends of mine kid because they can’t afford clothes. I asked her again today and she said she gave them all to the church. I ask her for my sons clothes, I like to keep their clothes for the first year for when they have kids, she got rid of his also. My question is, Are they allowed to get rid of my kids clothes without my permission? I don’t know a lot about foster parents, but any kind of advice of what they do would be nice.

Please ask the CPS caseworker your question. Also, please let the caseworker know, and the foster parent, know, that from now on, any and all clothes that your children outgrow, are immediately to go back to you, for you to give to your friend, etc. You paid for the clothes, it is your decision as to where the outgrown clothes should go. Take care.
