[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister's best friend adopted a 7 year old when she was 54. She had fostered for a year, then the adoption went very smoothly. She was an empty nester and such a mom at heart. Those 2 are beautifully bonded. They should do a public service announcement for foster care and adoption! [/quote] DC has a 99% reunification rate. You should foster because you want to help, not because you want to adopt. Unless you’re willing to take only TPR placements. I’m really glad your friend had a good experience, but that is not the goal of the foster system for the overwhelming majority of cases.[/quote] My coworker had to give her foster children back to the bio family even though their situation was still way less than ideal. The kids had to be carried out kicking and screaming. [/quote]
