congrats ann

Ann:
that is very exciting. I am so happy for you. Why did it take so long though. I was just asking another fm why it was taking her so long. I thought that in the state of Maine the parents only had a certain amount of time to get them selves straight and if they didn't do it within that time then they were tpr'd. I am just getting involved with the foster/adopt program and it makes me a little nervous. Not because I would be afraid that the child would go home. That is a risk we all know we are taking. Besides that is their child and not mine. The thing that bothers me most is if a child can remain in the system for nearly 4 years, how is that in the best interest of the child. Was your fd having visits with bp's?
I know that once the adoption is final, you will know that it was all worth it. It just seems so sad for the children to not have that permanancy. I live in Maine too and I was hoping for better than that.
Thanks for listening to me ramble.....(lol)
Tracey
