[quote=Anonymous]11:12 here - as an adoptive and foster parent, I have seen many parents like you. You need to be more honest with yourselves. You started off saying you had been TTC for 15 months.  You want to be a parent and you want to be one now.  There is nothing wrong with that.  Pursue the available options. Do not pursue foster care/adoption because it is the cheapest option you have identified. You don't know what being a "parent" means to you yet because you haven't been a parent.

It's easy to say that you support reunification but its another thing entirely to do it.  think of this scenario - they place an infant with you, 2 years later they say the child is going home, you argue that the child knows you best and must stay with you, ultimately they move the child to another home before reunification because you are not supportive of the reunification goal.  It happens more often then you think. Do yourself a favor and look into other avenues to becoming a parent first.
