This is precisely why we chose not to foster-to-adopt and instead went adoption only. Our children were TPRed before we were matched with them.

Every family needs to make the decision that is best for them. For us, we knew that our children, ages 9 and 11 could not handle the emotional upset of a brother or sister leaving the home.

We were seriously dissuaded from going adopt only. The CW said that it would take forever to match. We matched after only 3 months wait with relatively healthy 3 and 4 year old boys.

Think about your options. Although I am sure your son will eventually work through the emotions, you need to decide if you are willing to put him through that at such a young age.
