ours

From the moment we brought him home we broke the cardinal rule of foster care and fell in love with him. He was ours. As time went on nothing pointed to the contrary. Birth mom was uninterested and the "family" member was in the background but the indication from all involved was that it was just procedure and not a real possibility. Months passed and nothing changed, he continued to grow in our home and in our hearts. The longer we had him the more evident it became that he belonged to us and was our son. Then the call came unexpected they would be removing him from our home the next day.
