I am a foster mom becasue I care about kids too and I think they need to be safe and have a home - where they are loved and wanted unconditionally .............. in the midst of court dates, visitaitons, "forcing" legal issues and laws - this passion can get lost.

We are in the final steps of adopting a girl who has been with us since she was 16 days old - she is 2.5 now. I know that seems fast ............. and this is an "open and shut case" - but it still took me, the foster parent, to push state and federal laws for this to happen.

This should have been finalized more thn a year ago, but it was held up with continuances which were shown to be delay tactics.

As a foster parent - thank you for caring so much!
