So very sad...
We are in the middle of transitioning our new son into our home, and he should be here within two weeks for good. I know he has no pictures from before entering care 3 1/2 years ago, but he's been in the same foster home the whole time. I called the foster mom today to see if we could pay for copies of pictures they may have for a life book for him. Not a SINGLE picture or video in 3 1/2 years. Birthday parties, Christmas, vacations. How does this happen? How am I one day going to explain to my son that nobody cared enough to take a single picture of him before he was ten? I can't wrap my mind around nobody loving this little boy for as long as he lived with them (or at least not caring enough to take a single picture). Is this that common of an occurence? Anybody else dealt with that?
