Hi, I've been lurking for a good while now but have dome out of the wood work for some advice.
We've been tentatively linked with a baby boy, 6mths old, and although it's very early in the process my mind is running ahead.
He's been in care since he was a few days old with, I'm sure, lovely foster carers. We haven't got his full details yet but our s/w indicated he's been with one fc family throughout.

What I'm just appreciating properly is just how much of a wrench it must be for both a baby and the carers to just lose each other no matter how ideal the exchange is.We've had all the training and I know our home will be his life time family but I'm still anxious about how this is actually done without heartache. Or is it not? Is it inevitable that there will be?

Please excuse me for rambling just getting my thoughts out there. Amy experiences or advice would be welcome.

Sorry have just got your post. Have been in hosp with DDs5 Thanks but we wanted them and we feel very honoured. Must be up front and say 3 sadly have died but 2 had very compex health needs so was expected (sort of) Stefen's death however floored me. Good luck to all prospective adopters it is a most wonderful journey
