“We had an update in his case today,” Lilley wrote. “A random great aunt he’s met once for less than an hour, and only after he was already 12 months old and deeply bonded with us and more importantly, his biological brother, is fighting for custody.”
Lilley also went on to say that foster care has been incredibly difficult on her but she’s not giving up the fight just yet. Even though it’s emotional and unpredictable, it’s still worth it. And while she is grateful that the boy has extended family that he can count on, at the same time she doesn’t want to see her son and his brother separated.
“If you’re like so many people I talk to who say they would foster but just can’t because they’d get too attached, can I lovingly say that THAT makes you the PERFECT #fosterparent!
