ldurham - he isn't able to articulate what he wants. He is so confused - the only clear thought he's been able to give is that he wants to go "home". Now that he knows that can't happen, he's VERY clear on wanting to stay with us - but goes back and forth all over the place on foster vs. guardianship vs. adoption. The counsellor says it isn't even fair to ask him - that he's emotionally about a 7 year old (please note - not MENTALLY - he's very smart, but extremely EMOTIONALLY damaged) and we wouldn't ask a 7 year old to make such a decision. She says we have to make that for him, with sensitivity to what is best for him - although, obvioulsy, if we do got P.G. or Adopt he'll have to give his formal consent at that time.
