Circuit court affirmed DCFS's decision upholding denial of specialized foster care services for 3-year-old girl who had multiple severe allergies, severe eczema, and severe medical conditions due to drug exposure in utero. It was not against manifest weight of evidence for ALJ to find that minor's needs were being met even though minor had not yet been able to see a dermatologist. ALJ considered proper factors, including current foster care services, in deciding whether minor was eligible for specialization. (DELORT and HARRIS, concurring.)
