I've been matched with a child, my first foster placement (and long term). I am very tempted to adopt. I haven't met the child yet but we seem to be a very good match and as the child is the only one of several siblings without an adopter it feels like the right thing to do. The LA would be very happy for me to apply to adopt. My agency however are not happy and have said I should foster. Both sides have said the other are basing their advice on finances and I feel a bit stuck in the middle. The LA have said they'd like a decision before I meet the child so they can introduce me in the appropriate way (as either adopter or foster carer).
Would love to get some thoughts on this...
