When does BEST INTEREST of the Child BEGIN
If you have read any of my posts, they are all relative to the MESS that I am in with the foster parents. The arguement is, they feel the child should be returned to them as it is is the BEST interest of the child. Yet, the agency see differently... for what ever reasons. They feel, the BEST interests of the child will be better met by another... doesn't even need to be me. It will not be them. We have adopted the child and thusly have been determined better. The arguement AGAINST us adopting is that we are black and that made us better for the black child. That is discrimination according to adoption law.
So, then. Because, we can exclude race. When then does BEST come into play. I would think that, FOSTER CARE is not an end all BEST solution for a child. I see it as what is available, therefore WHAT IS WRONG with best being better, when it comes!? NO MATTER WHAT COLOR IT IS? Why can we be better... because we ARE simply just that?
Now, if you can untangle that... your thoughts are welcome.
