When I was in high school, family friends were asked to take in a foster child unexpectedly -- a little boy, about 2. They said yes, and they had him for three or four years, I think -- he was a very cute, very bright little guy, and we all absolutely adored him. I think they would have adopted him if they could have, but the family was reunited and moved away. I think it broke the foster family's hearts. This little boy would be almost 40 now. I sometimes wonder about him and what kind of a life he's had. loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523466503020855745.post-71078868847862083332015-02-28T19:45:08.540-07:002015-02-28T19:45:08.540-07:00We were in the adoption ring for over 5 years...bo...We were in the adoption ring for over 5 years...both international and domestic. 16 kids came and went - and it tore our hearts apart. My husband's coworker is trying to adopt now and they have had two kids not work out - and they are struggling emotionally. It hurts to watch them go through the same struggles we went through. And the money... I feel the same about foster care - I am not ready to get attached and then watch a child leave. I also am not ready to deal with a state agency - they can be frustrating.KThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675117636370455435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523466503020855745.post-62760163471874101562015-02-27T17:09:28.113-07:002015-02-27T17:09:28.113-07:00Here from Klara's blog too.

You were very brave to undertake adoption and you are brave to write about it. I'm in the process of writing my story too and I see a few similarities between your story and my story, specifically foster care.BentNotBrokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151724076659555122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523466503020855745.post-66180213984949702882015-02-26T20:17:14.376-07:002015-02-26T20:17:14.376-07:00This is a lovely post.
