i don't think you are wrong to be presumptive....if i had to guess, i'd say he''ll be ru'd...this is another example of how you NEVER know what will happen in foster care...regardless of what they tell you. i'm sorry for you, and i hope it is a good situation with dad for baby.

when a baby that we were told we'd get to adopt, and we very much loved, went home. we were heartbroken. our kids were 2 1/2 and 11 and 12. we told them the truth......we thought we would be able to adopt this baby, but his mother was able to do all the things she needed to give the baby a safe and loving home....and so he was going to go home with his mom. we told them we knew it would be hard for them to essentially lose a brother, but that it was a really good thing for baby l. it was doubly hard for them to understand, because they are all adopted and were unable to be ru'd....it was tough....in the end, we were okay...most of us were happy for baby l, but we also agreed it would be a long time before we did foster care again, because saying goodbye IS hard.
