its not dishonest when you tell the cw from day one that you only want to adopt.

why do you have such a problem with it? whats so wrong with people wanting to adopt and in the meantime taking care of the child they wish to adopt? whats so wrong with a couple who UNDERSTANDS THE RISKS but still decides to foster-adopt because they feel like if they dont get to adopt the baby they have, at least they will have given the child a good home for the time they had him/ her?

it seems to me that you need to focus on what YOUR decisions have been, and leave other people to run their own lives.

if i get placed with a baby and the baby returns to the bparents, i will not be bitter. i will understand that was the risk i took and i will try to heal and move on. and in the meantime i gave that child a good home.

you have issues if you think there is anything wrong with that.
