There are a lot of misconceptions of what Foster to Adopt is. If you go online Foster to Adopt is often villianized, even by foster parents. People think that Foster to Adopt is people, who want babies and aren't willing to try to reunify with the parents. Foster to Adopt is actually for the kids, who have been through the system; for those who aren't going back to family. These are often older kids, sibling groups, or special needs children.
Though JJ and Lil' Bro are biological brothers, they were living in seperate foster homes. They had not seen each other in several months, due to COVID. These brothers had very different experences in foster care. Lil' Bro went to one foster family before us. JJ got bounced around. We will never know how many of JJ's behaviors were from autism and how many were from trauma.
Foster to Adopt allowed us to reunite these brothers in a stable family.
