[quote=Anonymous]Thank you, guys. Lots of good info and things to consider + additional avenues for research. As to why we want to adopt, it's pretty straightforward -- both DH and I believe that every kid deserves a family that loves them unconditionally and cares for them. It's beyond messed up that some kids don't get a stable home and we'd like to provide one for a child that needs it. The thing that concerns me more than anything about foster-to-adopt would not necessarily be that the child goes back to their bio family, if/when that's what's best for them (even though that would be plenty hard), but that we might have to return them to a bad situation, because the law says so. I've read several blogs/testimonials from foster parents in that situation. Anyways, I'll keep researching/will read the books that a few of you recommended, then will take it from there.[/quote]
