Advice for Across State Lines Foster Care

Hadley - what a great post! I know that several relatives came forward late in the case of our daughter, in which case we had already bonded with her from birth and TPR had already occurred. The CW and GAL definitely took that timing into consideration. Everybody was asking - "why didn't they come forward sooner?" and "are they just going to provide BMom access to the child and disappear?". OP - By making the child your clear emphasis right away, you'd be answering those questions. Good luck to you!
