DISQUS

I'm sorry to hear this, especially given the suggestion that adoption might have been an outcome. You've helped her grow and smile and be a kid, and there's no greater gift than that. Perhaps would your relationship with the birth family allow continued occasional contact, if appropriate, welcome and helpful to her? I've read about that, and heard about it in local cases.

We just finished our foster parent preservice training, and have hopefully just one more home visit/interview, before we are licensed, and with reports, etc., that hopefully will be in the next month. We are interested in adoption, as well, and so the uncertainty of concurrent placements is something we're trying to prepare ourselves for. Reading about your experience has been helpful, so thank you!

Your both in our thought as are the children you so lovingly care for with such open hearts.

hey there. I stumbled on your blog in researching the debate over gay adoption for a college course, and I just wanted to say I think it is absolutely brilliant that you two are doing this, especially because I know it's a really hard area to get involved in for you. I'm so sorry things won't work out for you, but I am sure you have been such a blessing in this girl's life, and she will never forget that.
Take care.
