Florida Department of Children and Families, released the documentation of the case of Nubia Doctor. The report itself is attached as a PFD document. Several excerpts of the document related to investigations into Nubia's foster care and adoption placement are presented here.

December 21, 2004

Spoke with the Nurse Practitioner XXXXXXXXXXX(last name unknown), due to Nubia docter’s appointment that is scheduled for 12/21/2004. She wanted to make sure that Nubia did not miss this appointment because she has not had a follow up since January of 04. She stated that the child had to be seen by the docter 3x‘s a year. This counselor explained to the nurse that the foster parent never goes to the appointment with the children. She sends them with transportation. This counselor also told the nurse that when she calls the foster parent, she is going to tell her that she cannot take the child. The nurse explained to this counselor that the child is not in a good placement because the foster parent does not care for the child's well being if she does not attend the medical appointments with the child. The nurse also stated that the child may need to be in a medical foster care home. The nurse stated that she was going to call the head of the foster medical care units because this child is very medically needy and should not be missing appointments becasue the foster parent does not want to take her. She went on to state that maybe the brother could be placed with the child as well. She stated that she has a concem for the child if the placement is adoptive because the foster parent would then have the sole responsibility to care for the child and she does not believe that will happen. She has also stated that the children have not had their four year old shots. The children are in daycare without their shots. She does not know how this is possible.

Nubia has also had an unpleasant odor. Recently, Nubia also missed two weeks of school due to heavy bleeding. Nubia’s adoptive mother has said that Nubia's behavior can be attributed to hormonal issues. However, the mother has only provided personal documentation written from her place of employment.
