You will find great joy in opening your home to these needy children. Please consider fostercare.

Their excuse was that she was to bonded to us. duh!!!What do they expect when you give a child your heart and everything you have as if she was your own, only to have her snatched away never once concidering the damage they have done to our family. I have no use for any of them. I am very dissapointed in our legal system. They are supposed to be in this for the best intrest of the child. BULL !!!! I really think someone got their pocket padded through all of this. I heard the family that adopted the child was a Dr. GO figure !!! I would go international if I were going to adopt.I wish I could afford it. May cost you a little but you wont have to put up with the know it all attitude of the legal system here. Be careful and guard your heart. I will go to my grave missing my little girl and there is nothing I can do about it.

There are so many children who need homes in the United States but impossiable to get.(what do you do)

I sont understand our juducial syatem.Dont they realize that the child is the one being hurt in the long run???
