Some went back to their birth families and some went on to adoptive families. Anyway, from my perspective, overall, fostering was a great experiance!<br />What age child are you guys hoping to adopt?Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322158183991966740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733508621383645950.post-18491218118401749572010-03-17T19:15:01.619-07:002010-03-17T19:15:01.619-07:00hmmm... lots and lots to think about, to consider....hmmm... lots and lots to think about, to consider... to pray about..<br /><br />I'm praying for you.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216348983744367328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733508621383645950.post-66121750626514165972010-03-17T13:02:57.612-07:002010-03-17T13:02:57.612-07:00Your blog is a great find!

Or are you hanging out by the gate? <br />We had about half and half in our class... some were there for fostering, some exclusively for adoption and to take in TPR'd kids.<br />We were the only couple there interested in both; foster to adopt, open to taking straight fostering, legal risk and already terminated situations and being on board for however they turned out. <br />Our ultimate goal is to get to adoption at some point in the game, but I can't help but think of the kids I may have the opportunity to help heal a little bit here and there while I'm waiting for that.heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585727879797305803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733508621383645950.post-29129456616519547702010-03-17T11:31:44.571-07:002010-03-17T11:31:44.571-07:00just found your blog via Design Mom, and I'm s...just found your blog via Design Mom, and I'm so excited to see a basic, broken down, normal person explanation of how this stuff works, as opposed to something written by a particular agency with an agenda to push. I have some questions that I will separately email you. thanks!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582340182176367822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733508621383645950.post-45969844617441426732010-03-17T11:25:59.329-07:002010-03-17T11:25:59.329-07:00Very similar to our system here.

As I understand it, the two main reasons for this happening are 1) a child is pulled from his/her family after multiple detainments and attempts at reunification, and the court determines that continued failed attempts at reunification will just be more harmful to the child, and 2) a child is detained from a parent who has already had children TPR'd.<br /><br />Just wanted to add a little from my experience with the system :)..Kate.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07520550835673088368noreply@blogger.com
