change of plans and questions

I haven't been posting much, but I wanted to do a little update.  After waiting nearly a year and a half we have decided to go a new route.  We are going to foster to adopt.  It was an easy switch because our homestudy included PRIDE classes, all I needed to do was call our social worker and let her know.

I think I am as emotionally prepared as possible to parent a child and then return them to their biological families.  Although, when that happens, I know I will still be a mess. 

 

Those of you that fostered,  how many children were in your home before your forever kids?

 I know that that the goal of foster care is reunification.  Did you ever feel guilty that your goals of adoption were opposite of the goals of the agency?

I've sorted through most of these emotions on my own, and I feel confident in our decision. However, I am still curious about your feelings/experiences.

No words of advice, but GL with the new path you are taking.  Looking forward to the updates.
