Distraught...

I have a former foster daughter who is in residential right now. Let's just say she has sexual issues (most were never disclosed to us prior to her placement with us of course), severe PTSD among other things. When she went in a year ago we always said she could come back (she was preadoptive). We didn't take other kids for six months...my heart was broken. Now we have 3 placements at least some of them could be legally screened within the next few months. None of them have sexually aggressive behavior. I couldn't keep any of them if I agreed to take my former fd back. Part of that is a numbers game and the other part is risk. She could possibly offend against them or my even my youngest bio child. I know what I should do, I just wish it was an easier choice to make.
