Foster to Adopt
My husband and I are AA and finished our classes in July 2004. We had our first placement identified during class. He moved in with us at the end of July. He was 18 months old at the time and was being moved to us for adoption. His caseplan was changed back to reunification in August and he should be leaving us next week. He was drug exposed and ended up in care because of it. Our second placement arrived in November. A four week old baby girl that was drug exposed. Both of the children are biracial. We live in a prodominently caucasian area and the placements tend to be caucasian, biracial (CC/AA or CC/Hispanic) or hispanic. We requested ages 0-5, any race or mixture except full CC. We interested in adoption not fostering and in order to get a young child we had to do foster to adopt. The emotional rollercoaster will be the hardest thing. You will have to take things day by day.
