Hi,
This is my first time posting as well. I feel like I have been eves dropping for quite a while. All of the info I have taken in has been a great help. Now I have a question. My dh and I are almost done with our homestudy. We have the final visit on Wed. We are doing fost/adopt. I am so excited, I shared this with a friend at church this morning. He pulled me aside and gave me a harsh warning. We have 5 bio kids and 3 of those are still at home, 17, 15 and almost 3. He suggested that I get as much info on the parents as possible due to the fact that bad genes carry on into the kids. He said that him and his wife were foster parents for many years and found that even if the child was under 3 years old, the traits of the parents come through in the children sometimes no matter how great their new family raises them. I should say, good traits as well as bad. I was just wondering if anyone out there had comments on this subject.
It's great to here everyones stories.
LisaB5,
