We had a FS for 14 months- from age 3 mos. to 18 mos then he was RU. I always treated the parents with respect to their roles as mom and dad and tried my best to include them in decisions, like how to handle his allergies ("do you think we should try a natural cream or see if the doc can prescribe something?") and get studio pictures (Walm*rt cheap pictures) taken and copies for parents so they don't miss out... things like that. When we first met I asked them if they wanted to ask me any questions because I understood that me having their son was a big deal and I didn't want them to worry about him. I think just treating the bioparents like good people will come back to you. P went home in September and his parents have allowed us to visit him EVERY WEEK since then. We are not like best friends or anything, but I really did not expect P to still be in our lives almost a year later. The parents really love their son and want what's best for him.
We've been blessed.
