As wonderful as his foster mom may be, her priorities concern me which makes me question her motive. If he were to stay with her, the question will come up as he grows older and I can imagine that could be quite a blow to find out that she had many opportunities to adopt him and chose not to. Very sad.<br /><br />I'm sorry things are complicated right now and I truly hope everything works out. Lots of good thoughts coming your way next week.Lost in Spacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027117135940864685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081003982975427557.post-67730863786765466172009-07-25T01:25:06.385-04:002009-07-25T01:25:06.385-04:00Sending you lots of luck with the adoption process...Sending you lots of luck with the adoption process.

Loosing an ovary unexpectedly, to fearing ovarian cancer, to adopting from the foster care system. I really know of nothing braver than considering adoption from foster care. All of your thoughts and questions surrounding the 5-year old and his foster mother seem valid, and I hope that it becomes clear for you at the disclosure meeting. You didn't mention..is his foster mother single? I'm guessing she is. And forgive the ignorance of this question..will you meet the boy soon? What a whirlwind! It sounds as though you have thought, and continue to think, this out from every angle. I wish you the best of luck as you go forward with the process.Fiddle1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09351570423027232218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081003982975427557.post-56520299357788741862009-07-23T01:36:17.895-04:002009-07-23T01:36:17.895-04:00hi, I am visiting from ICLW...No. 50 to say hello ...hi, I am visiting from ICLW...No. 50 to say hello and to check out your blog.<br /><br />What a difficult situation and how sad she chose the money.

I guess I can sort of understand if he really did have special needs and needed extra care. But seriously. How much extra money per month do you need to take care of a child?<br /><br />ICLWEchloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076557769820933518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081003982975427557.post-83590819677611193302009-07-22T22:37:21.958-04:002009-07-22T22:37:21.958-04:00wow this seems hard all the way around, hope this ...wow this seems hard all the way around, hope this little guy gets some permancy soon in his little lifeMama Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459176957674069370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081003982975427557.post-49077481884270943812009-07-22T20:45:43.902-04:002009-07-22T20:45:43.902-04:00Here from ICLW.

If you DO get him, even though he has some attachment, I say he might be better off all around. My sister had an attachment to her mother too even though she was deemed unfit and we got custody. It's only natural to love the only mother you know.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067045642285877560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081003982975427557.post-50520477712246066412009-07-20T23:25:46.846-04:002009-07-20T23:25:46.846-04:00What a difficult situation and how sad that this b...What a difficult situation and how sad that this boils down to money. While I understand what it is to be financially strapped, I'm sure that those of us who have worked so hard to bring a child into our lives would give up the money in a split second. It's about priorities here and it sounds like this little guy's foster mom is trying to block him from being with his forever family because she has set these priorities on something other than him. That is heartbreaking.
