While this may be the case in your family's situation, I HUGELY resent the implication that because I love and want to adopt the foster children in my care I'm evil.
In my case, the "relative" I fought was an aunt by marriage only. My kids' bmom got married to a man just out of prison 10 days before she gave birth to the youngest. This man was not the baby's father, as he'd be in prison for well over a year and got out just before the marriage. I, on the other hand, was the adoptive mom to the baby's older sister and foster mom to the baby's older brother. Yet to these people, I was the evil one trying to steal their relative.
You need to remember this is a board for ALL MEMBERS of the foster and adoption world. Not just the family members seeking kinship care. I love my kids and would do whatever it took for their safety and happiness. What I will not do is have someone imply that that's a bad thing.
