Hi I was just seeing who is out there who's been through foster to adopt and found it stressful. We've had a 6 month old little boy placed with us since January under foster to adopt. We were told beforehand that family wise this was as low risk FFA as we were going to get, so we agreed as we do really see the benefits of Early Permanence. Sadly things didn't start well. During introductions birth mum put forwards multiple people to have this little boy, and on the day before we was due to come to us we had a call that an aunty was being considered. We then had a week of waiting for her viability assessment which was strongly negative in the end. So he came to live with us and we just assumed it was all finished. Then this aunty appealed for another assessment and court granted this despite final hearing being a couple of weeks later. We've had two months already of agonising waiting and heard yesterday that her assessment has gone okay and there are no concerns about her ability to parent. Which is hard as on one hand it would be so good for this little one to be brought up by biological family, but on the other we are feeling terrified that he will go as you cannot help but fall in love with him no matter how hard you try not to. Everyone has said not to judge assessment updates and wait for official outcome of the assessment and then final court hearing as things change. We are already entering some odd period of grieving for the loss we're convinced we're about to experience, and it feels awful. We never thought we would be that family that would go through a child leaving them but here we are. Anyway I was just seeing if there was anyone who had been through stress like this with FFA or even if anyone has been through it and child was rehabilitated back to birth family?
