As a relative of a child in foster care.........(and I AM fighting to adopt him). Perhaps the Dad did come forward and the SW never told you? OR maybe the Dad just didn't know or know what to do?

I am sorry for the stress you must be feeling. IF the baby does RU with Dad, maybe you could ask to keep the kids in touch. IF the Dad is really looking out for the baby............he will say yes. A visit once a week for a while? Then once a month? It will be like having a cousin. Besides if the Dad is a first time Dad he may need your help anyways LOL I have heard some AWESOME stories of where the foster parents actually babysat the child for the birth parents I don't know if the Dad is near you but.......hey you never know unless you ask
I hope things work out for the best for baby and that your children can look back on the time with baby (IF he leaves your home) as wonderful and HOPEFULLY you guys can stay in touch. Wouldn't it be great to have such an extended family?
This is not the case with our sitation.........but MAN I wish it was
Thanks for caring for that baby with your whole heart and family, that baby received a special gift from all of you! AND who knows what will happen, maybe baby will end up with you
