Hi,

I'm just wanting any help that i can get right now....
My son is in yr1 at the local primary school, and has known this boy (same class) for 3 years now.
2 years ago this boy was taken into foster care along with 5 siblings, 3 babies 3 school aged.
the babies were adopted early on by birth relatives, and older boy gone to new family also. this leaves 1 girl aged 9 and this boy in my sons class.
this boy is one of the sweetest things you've ever seen, outgoing, polite, funny etc.
anyway i was talking to his foster mum a few days ago when she told me that he'd had 5 adoptive homes fall through since september 2005!!! they wanted younger children!
i'm now considering applying to adopt him, will social services allow this as we know him so well already??

thanks
Heather
