We picked our son up from the hospital. He was a healthy baby boy and not removed from his mom. I live in a rural county so they get abandoned babies on a somewhat regular basis. When I say abandoned I don't mean literally abandoned. For legal purposes he was considered abandoned. His mom did not have an adoption plan in place and showed up at the hospital to give birth and said she couldn't take him home because she couldn't care for another child.
We've had two more opportunities to do a straight adoption but at the time our house was full and I wasn't about to move one child to another foster home to get a sure thing. Technically our home was not full but it was at our self imposed limit of 3 kids at one time. The state will let you have up to 6 at one time here.
We stayed on the top of the placement call list because we were open to AA kids.
