Congratulations. I am so excited for you and have been avidly reading the updates. We also had an expedited process with our foster experience. We also have totally inconsistent information on the kids and the birth parents and ultimately found our own baselines for things like development, health, etc.

We were told our little one was ‘probably blind’ and ‘delayed’ and Hep C positive – she is none of those things… Just saying, that the incredible fragmentation of care creates a story that can create pathologies where there are none, or in the case of oldest- a portrait of health when there are actual chronic medical conditions…

Regardless, its a great experience and I am so happy we are foster parents who get to adopt. We heard so many horror tales and its been a great experience…

Good luck!!!
