Foster Adoption
Foster Care's main goal is REUNIFICATION.
In my state only 1/4 of the children in foster care are adopted.
I think you should go for it but plan on some new holes in your heart along the way. We had one fd for eight months before losing her and she will always be our first daughter and forever in our hearts. Even though we did not get to keep her she blessed us in so many ways and hopefully we touched her life as well.
Although we are pursuing infant adoption we are also still signed up with the state. We want to adopt but also want to help children who need a family even if only temporarily.
I am also LDS and I know that God will send us our children when we are ready for each other and in whatever way he chooses for us to receive them. My foster/adoption process has taught me a great lesson in Faith and in following the promptings of the Holy Ghost.
My heart and prayers go out to you.
