Legal Question in Family Law in California

I live in the state of California. For 16 years I have been a foster mom to my granddaughter who is now 17. About 4 or five months ago, social services moved her from my home and put her with another foster mom who just happens to be a close friend. She volunteered for this because Sarah had been in two other foster homes prior to coming to her home. She felt that Sarah should be with people she knows rather than strangers. the reason they moved her from my home is because of her drug use and behavior problems. She has a boyfriend who also has drug usage problems. We have gone round and round with the issue that Sarah should not be allowed to be at his house while the foster mom (ginger) is at work. She leaves her there until about 9 ot 10 at night. when she gets off work. She is in a drug program (out patient) and the boyfriend is not. I know she is still using because when I see her she is high. Her social worker does not think I need to be concerned about this. she says that everything will be all right. I know my granddaughter better than either one of these two people. But no one listens to me. Do I have any rights in this matter?
