Apologies, my foot.
There is an 8 year old child who has only lived with one family here.
Ask her who she’d rather live with!
Hey, I did say that that piece of information makes the territory murky. What I mean by territory is the synapse between my brain (which cedes to the court that overturned the lower court’s decision) and my heart. Thinking only of the child, I want her to be with the siblings and parents with whom she grew up. But if the biological parents have struggled all along to have her back, for several years, after visiting regularly the first year, ......... I don’t know. Both words and rationalization fail me.
If the foster family did the right thing, the girl would have been reunited with the birth parents when she was around one. It’s due to the foster parents using the courts which has delayed settling this case.
