That's great news!!! You are absolutely right. There are so oftentimes many many horror stories associated with fostering or the foster/adopt program. While I don't intend to minimize those issues, there are also very wonderful things that happen as well. Our family is very blessed with four now adopted (three of which are a sibling group) and we have a fifth baby to the sibling group placed with us as a foster child right now. We have definately had our ups and downs with the system, but I could never be more proud of the family that we have!
The key is to know your limits and what you want, and then be patient until you get it. It is not impossible or even improbable, but it may take a bit longer. By no means do I mean to give it up or expand your range. Only you know what is right for your family!!!
Best!
