I am a FP who has "fallen in love" w/ my FC. I make no apologies for that. It's been over 2 years and this child's birth mother still continues to go through the process. The legal system, sadly (for FC and biomom), has dragged it's feet. CW, GAL, Independent psychiatrist (who did bonding eval with me and child and child and bio mom), and an independent citizen review board all recommend (fervently) adoption by me. I could not love the child more if I gave birth.

Nonetheless, I wait and pray that God's will is done. And, battle, internally, about hiring a lawyer to represent me . In the end, I trust that God's will will be done and that He will sustain the child and me.

This is the kind of situation that seems obvious to any reasonable person--of course the child should stay with you. Will be sending positive thoughts your way--
