Got my first foster placement

in Adoption
It has been an insane past 2 days so I didn't update yet but I have a foster placement. He is an 11 month old boy, super adorable. I call him spider monkey because he always needs to be attached to you. He is very attached to me but does not like to be held by DH. He starts daycare tomorrow and I had to come in for a half day today so he and DH are going to have to learn to bond. DH loves him though.

We will learn more about the case in the coming days after the initial hearing but apparently mom agreed to inpatient and the judges here are very pro parent so we will see what happens.

    Congrats!  Enjoy your time with him and I'm sure with some patience and understanding he will warm up to DH.

    @Lacyj67‌ the whole home study process took 7 months then it was 3 weeks (less 2 days) from when we were certified until we got the call.

    Aw congrats! It warms my heart to think that little guy has so much love during a tough time and to know he's already bonding with you. Can't wait to hear more.

    We are doing foster to adopt and recently decided to possibly take a newborn.... That had just been taken away so the risk could be higher but we are willing to risk it!!!
