LoveRiddenDad,
Thank you for your reply.
I don't want to "tear" this baby from it's foster family. I just don't want to see my sister-in-law loose her baby forever over one, though serious, mistake. She has never wanted to give up custody of her child, she was in prison and had no choice. She doesn't smoke, do drugs, nor has she had any prior convictions. She just made a mistake and was made to pay in a most unfortunate way. My purpose in stepping in, if I did, would be to help prevent her from loosing her baby altogether.
Having children of my own, I do feel empathy for the foster parents. But, isn't the purpose of foster parents usually a temporary one to begin with? Are they told up front that they are just there until the mother is able to care for her own child?
I am new at all this. I believe in family. I would never think of doing anything that would put my own family in jeporardy, but if something happened that separated me from my children, I would do everything in my power to correct that mistake and I would be eternally grateful to anyone who showed love to my children, but I still would still want them back in my own care.
I have posted here because I am not sure of what to do, I am just looking for answers and some advice. Again, thank you for your reply.
Michelle
