I also love listening to the foster parenting podcast (my husband and I hope to be able to be foster parents in the future) and I love what they and you have to say about attachment. Truely this special bond you've made between you and the baby at such a young age will be the best gift he has for the rest of his life as he is able to form new relationships and thrive.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538717076887406701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13359907.post-15359326463992068922009-01-09T12:16:00.000-05:002009-01-09T12:16:00.000-05:00What a lovely thing you did for that child! :)What a lovely thing you did for that child! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569720420483740487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13359907.post-25993235822858309062009-01-09T11:20:00.000-05:002009-01-09T11:20:00.000-05:00Keep them coming.

They came out of foster care and I couldn't imagine my life without them. I am like their second "mama" and love it, since when they were adopted I was 16 so I became attached to them very quickly when they were babies. As you can tell I was not your "normal" 16 year old. I love your blog and all of your "inspiring" ideas. Thanks for making my day, everyday. Have a "fantabulous" weekend.<BR/>~ Molly PMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12735948137075598465noreply@blogger.com
