I think there are a few questions here.

1: Can dcfs take your kids with out a warrant in the state of Arkansas? I don’t live in Arkansas but in most states, yes. They must go to court within a set period of time, usually 72 hours, and argue before a judge why they took the children, but yes, they can take without a warrant.

The other part of the question, if I understand you correctly, is why you can’t get them back after 17 months of following your case plan. This I just don’t know enough to answer for you but you should have a court appointed attorney. Find him and ask! You are coming up fast on your the period of time (18 months) when most states will file to terminate your parental rights so don’t put this off. Call your attorney, call your case worker, make sure you find out what is happening and fight if you still want your kids.
