And I'm sure glad to hear that her REAL daddy loves her. I hope he gets legal standing soon!!!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363840675301513089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43056709404910466.post-64261398732510777462010-12-21T11:18:30.989-08:002010-12-21T11:18:30.989-08:00Most of my kids have been very blessed to have bio...Most of my kids have been very blessed to have bio dads who step up and who are willing to do whatever it takes for their kids. Three of my five so far have been reunited with their fathers (not their mothers) and are doing really well. <br /><br />The foster care system is extremely flawed, but I've also seen first-hand how it CAN work. I've been very blessed to have good relationships with some of my kids' parents. It's been nearly a year since the Booger Bear went home to his Daddy, and I can honestly say that I am GOOD FRIENDS with his dad and new mom.<br /><br />I know that it's reassuring for ME to see first-hand the love that most of these parents have for their children. I know that in the cases where my kiddos' parents have been open to establishing some sort of relationship with me during the time their children have been with me, the final outcomes have been much more positive and the transitions much easier on the children.<br /><br />I'm so glad that Lizzy's dad is really stepping up and showing just how much he loves her. I pray that he is able to get some LEGAL standing as her father as well. <br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your quickly-growing family!aka.

I just love seeing both the bio family and foster family work together to provide a situation that is best for the child. It seems like all too often it can become a small "war" between the two families, which ends of doing nothing but hurt the child! <br /><br />So glad that Lizzy will be able to be with her bio family for Christmas. For the sake of her brother, I hope she warms up to him and is able to enjoy her day! <br /><br />Thinking of you lots!Kyleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831000901872188471noreply@blogger.com
