I'm glad you went ahead and did the bonding assessment. Hopefully they will realize you have a bond with him too.

It is scary to know a FP can fight a relative. Our niece's FP's hired an attorney to fight us from moving her here and the sad thing was everyone was saying we'd probably lose...but in the end we were able to bring her home. She is doing outstanding and nothing like anybody said would happen has. She's excelling in school and has come along way in the year and half she's been here. It is amazing! Even her counselor told my husband and I that we have done an excellent job with her and helping her feel safe and secure with us.

I know everything is frustrating right now...I wouldn't want to be back at the stage you are at however looking back I can say it was all worth it.
