[quote=Anonymous]Wow, this poor kid. Does he know you or have any kind of relationship with you? My cousins were foster parent to an older child who's dad wasn't in the picture and his mom had mental health/drug dependency issues. He lived with them for several years, then had to go back to live with his mom at some point. As a teen, he had enough of his mom's backsliding and ended up on their door step. They ended up with guardianship at this point. They were the one consistent, loving force in his life. Technically, I'm not sure if he was ever legally adopted him. But he refers to them as mom & dad. They refer to him as their son. They now have a grandson. Your spouse and child need to be on board and I hope you do. Kids need consistency, stability, and love in their lives.[/quote]
