im in the process. i know its very hard to adopt a random child. for me i have the parents permission and ive cared for the children for 4 years and theres still lot of work and red tape

I'm in a very similar situation. I became a "foster parent," nd I know that process was really tough considering the circumstances. I also had to jump through a lot of hoops. It was worth it in the end, though. :) @PinkPowerRanger

@lauriethecolourful i was only meant to look after them for short term, maybe a year and now its 4. Their mother has basically given up her rights but their dad wants to retain joint custody but we arent a couple so thats unique for the authorities to work out.. plus their mothers family has been interfering

I respect you for what you are doing. Not just anyone would take in a child that's not their own. I really do hope that you can work through things and adopt this child. :)

Our circumstances are very similar, but it it all very complicated. @PinkPowerRanger
