I would suggest that you need to ask the Social Worker about it.We fostered a boy for almost two years. His plan was adoption but they were struggling to find a match that met his profile. His nursery school teacher said on a number of occassions that she would adopt him. In my experience lots of people say that they would adopt the children I foster but they are not serious. In the end I said to her, "are you really serious?". She said that she was. I asked her if she wanted me to ring the SW. She said that she did.I rang up and the SW asked me if I was sure she was serious. I said that I thought she was. They went out to visit her and did a speedy Home Study just based around adopting this specific child. He is now their son.I don't want to raise your hopes too much. It all depends on the plans for the specific child and what their SW thinks but I would certainly look into it.Good luckHilly7

hello and welcome,There is nothing stopping you from approaching LA about this little girl, as I understand it you are not her FC but her teacher, so you hubby and birthchildren would have to go through the same assement that any prospective adopter goes through, and I notice that your lads are similar ages, most LA would prefer a better age gap between children.this little one has obviously made an impact on you, check out the prospective adopters and adopters board.good luckjune
