I have to agree here. DNA does not make a person a better parent...there is other factors to consider. If a responsible, stable and cleared family member comes forward within reasonable time (Not a year or even 6 months later!) then they should have the right to parent their relative. Once that is resolved and they are cleared then the foster family should help the child transition in a positive manner...and not fight the relative or go about it in a negative way. It's not about who wins, it's about the child...
