former foster son needs adoptive home - Adoption.com Forums

Our first foster son was Little Dude, he was 16 mo old when we got him. He's now four. We had LD for 6 weeks but judge ruled against adjudication. Long enough to fall in love and never ever forget him. My daughter still asks almost daily when "little dude" is coming back. A few months after we got our now adopted, special needs, medically fragile twin boys, LD goes back into care and has been in the same home since. LD's parents TPR trial is this week. LD has no adoptive resource. LD is special needs both some medical needs and very delayed.

Through a bunch of divine intervention, we have developed a relationship with the family of LD's baby sister who is also in care. Baby is in another home. A terrible foster home to boot. Baby goes to to my current foster son's daycare and she is always dirty and just poorly taken care of. Reports of neglect are being made against her current home apparently. Honestly from my daycare interactions, I should have enough to make a call next week. Poor girl.

Anyway, so Baby's birthday was today, and the visit supervisor who is my friend and did visits with my boys asked me to come and do pictures as I am a photographer. I know the CW and she happily approved as our family is connected with Baby's bio dad. Baby and LD's mom is very nice but MR and says she cant take care of the kids and wants them adopted in good homes. She would be an ideal open adoption bio parent. She remembered me and basically told me a ton today.

I've know for a while "illegally" that LD and Baby's social worker wants to find them an adoptive home together. But hasnt found one. A potential pre-adoptive home just fell through for LD. But now I know "legally" since mom told me all this today.

A few weeks ago I told my friend about LD and Baby and the need for a home and how I would love to take them but know its not the right timing, ect. Since then, her and her husband have been praying about it and really feel that maybe they should pursue it.

So my friend, the visit supervisor, says yeh, go ahead and call the CW. I think I will. Mom told me everything. Its safe now for me to call without "breaking confidentiality"

I'm still incredibly sad LD isn't with us. I love that kid. I pray he finds a great adoptive home with his sister. And I pray its our friends.

Long story. My heart will never ever quit loving that little boy. Our twins are incredibly involved with there care (non mobile, non verbal, med fragile, classified deaf/blind) But gosh, I wish I had a clone of me so I could do it.
