Almost done....concurrent planning?
Hello,
I am fairly new to this forum but have been quite the lurker.  I am currently doing foster adopt and just have a few steps to complete our homestudy. We have already received our foster license but we are just waiting on the the 3 required adoption classes to start and one final home visit by our adoption worker.
Anyway, my dh and I are still on the fence about concurrent planning. On one hand we would have a better chance to get the child we are open to:1-2 kids, ages 0-3. We are just scared about getting too attached and having to reunify. Don't get me wrong I know that is the ultimate goal and we understand that. The issue is that we have no bio children and really want a family of our own. I don'y know how we would handle losing someone we have wanted for so long. 
Can anyone give me some experiences with concurrent planning so we can make a more informed decision. TIA
