Our ason's bio mom had lost two other kids in (one in CA and one in FL) when she had our son in MI. The nurses at the hospital noticed her previous c-section scars and she had reported that she had never had any other children. They also suspected mental health issues and had confirmed drug abuse, so they took baby P at birth (we picked him up at the hospital). We just finalized last month and they told us flat out to expect a call in 1-2 years because she told the court she was "just gonna have a new one" if they took this one.

We decided to encourage our good friends (struggling with infertility) to become licensed so they could adopt the sibling (if it happens) so the kids could grow up knowing each other. We want to continue to foster sibling groups and that could be jeprodized if we continue to adopt little bros and sis's since we already have 5 and MI limits foster care to 8 kids under 18. We asked the CW and the director of the agency and she said she thought that was a fabulous idea, and since our friends wanted to foster anyway the agency just gained a new family.
