Joshua: Out of 12 foster moms in my life, you're my favorite.
Me: 12? How many were actually good to you?
Joshua: Just you.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.That's wonderful. I seriously considered fostering, but I think it would break me to hand a kid back. So I'm trying to adopt out of the foster system.

Not sure whether to give that a hearts or tears emoji...but I'm very happy for both of you.

Thank you, Carin. He's too old to adopt now, but if he ever asked me if he could take our family name, there wouldn't be anything strong enough to stop me from filing that paperwork. He'll have a home here, for as long as he wants/needs. He deserves it.
Believe ALL the horror stories that you've ever heard about foster care/group homes...they're all true.
That’s lovely!
I don’t understand how people who choose fostering as a vocation can not be good to the children they care for. Surely it’s not something you do unless you have a genuine compassion and love and wish to give children the care they’ve missed out on.
As someone who is going through the adopting process in the UK currently, I don’t think anyone with a negative attitude to care, or anything less than 100% willingness to give joy to a child in need, would get through the the process without a few alarm bells ringing....

I couldn't agree with you more. The criteria for fostering is quite lax, here. People tend to work the system and somehow slip past the radar.
Whatever stories you've heard, from foster children, please believe them... they're heart breakingly true. ?
Poor, sweet baby. I'm glad he has you.

I wouldn't trade my 3 daughters for anything in this world, but I finally have a "son" (better late than never, right?)., and I couldn't be any more thankful for him coming into our home and our lives.
