That is the judges job and I have a feeling that some of the facts we have been given here have been stretched a bit. Not by the OP but by her friend. The judges job is to take everything into consideration and Im sure he did. Its normal to feel anger and sadness when losing a foster child that you hoped to adopt but the child deserves to be with its family if at all possible. And the judge thought it was possible.

And that is all I was trying to say in my first post. We often hear things secondhand and we want to believe them because it may be a friend telling us through her heart that is broken. We must always take into consideration that when someone is hurting and angry about something that has happened they may put in facts that they feel but that are not always true. JMHO
