[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:47 - thank you for being so calm and putting it so clearly. I was too busy having a rage stroke that I couldn't write it out properly (I am 12:04, 13:08 and 18:19).

People just need to understand that reunification is always the goal, and if you can handle (not just handle - support) that goal, then fostering is for you. If you can't, you need to save up and do private adoption.  [/quote]

Thanks!   I don't always succeed with calmness- as you could see if you were able to identify my many previous posts in this forum when people express interest in fostering.  The thing about it is- there is a desperate need for more foster parents, and I really do want people to get involved in the foster system.  I also think that it is possible for people who are primarily interested in adopting to be outstanding foster parents, and fully supportive of reunification.
It does- however- drive me up the wall when people think that they can essentially order up a newborn from the foster care system to their specifications.[/quote]
