At this point in time we know nothing about the future of the placement.
Will the mom work her plan? Does she want the baby back? Is she still doing drugs or is she in rehab? Will the parental rights eventually be terminated?
Many have asked and, yes, we will CONSIDER adoption. But right now, this is a foster care placement.
Sure, I'd love to end up adopting this child if her situation leads to that and, yes, I'll be devastated to say goodbye to the child if her situation leads to reunification...but right now, we don't know. We signed up for this and know that we're here to give this child a stable home, full of love and care. I plan to do that for as long as she is with us.
I'm not going to speculate on the future of her placement because no one knows at this point. It's not worth getting excited or upset about. Right now, we need to be focused on the health, safety, and well being of a newborn baby. We'll take this one day at a time.
No more, no less.
