I have a 12 mo old fs whom I brought home from the hospital at 11 days (he was in the NICU). As soon as TPR happens he will be moved to another state to join his 1/2 brother in his adoptive home.

I have to tell you that, even though I am the only 'mommy' this precious little boy has ever known and I love him to pieces I will not fight to keep him. He needs to be with his 'family'.

In my opinion, and this is just MY opinion, a child needs to be with the siblings if at all possible. The exception to this, again in MY opinion, is when none of the siblings are aware that this child (who has been in one foster home for more than 9 months - since birth) exists. In that case, I believe that it COULD do more harm to the child to be moved. Especially if the foster family and the siblings adoptive family agree to establish a relationship between the children.

Again, all of this is just MY opinion. I do not presume to speak for anyone else.
