Our situation was a bit different. We only wanted to adopt. We were asked if we would take a legal risk placement of a 7 month old boy. We said yes, not really knowing what that meant.
We had to become licensed as foster parents and are still considered that even though we are planning to adopt him after his birthparents termination in September. We are hoping for a November finalization.
It has been much more difficult then we ever thought it would. Not knowing from one day to another if he would be taken from us at any moment and given back to his biological mother. (who has mental health issues galore)
We are more settled now, but we still hold our breathe every time the phone rings.
We will adopt again after his finalization. But we don't want to foster. We won't do another legal risk, I don't think, either.
