Brief intoduction into Foster Adoptions
View Full Description
It's not unusual for foster parents to become interested in adopting a child who has been placed with them after they have come to know and bond with the child (this is different than fost/adopt programs).
Many families become foster parents with the sole intent of providing a safe and loving interim environment for one or more children who will either return to their biological families or be placed elsewhere for adoption... but no one can predict how the heart will react, and the foster family may, indeed, choose to pursue adoption if that is possible legally.
What Are The Differences?
The basic difference, of course, is permanence. Your child will now have your lifetime commitment as a parent. Many foster families maintain lifetime relationships with children who have been in their care, but this is not permanently binding. Adoption is permanent. You and your child will now share family outcomes, whatever they may be.
