Foster Parents Face Tough Decision on Adoption of Four Daughters

A couple who has been fostering four daughters for years is now facing a tough decision. Three of the daughters want to be adopted, but the fourth is struggling with abandonment issues and has been refused by her biological family. The couple worries that the adoption of the other three girls may make the fourth daughter’s issues worse. The youngest daughter has been through a lot already, having been abandoned by her mother and placed in three different foster homes. The couple wants to assure all the girls that they will be committed to being their parents forever, but they are torn between wanting to make the other three girls happy and not wanting to worsen the youngest daughter’s emotional state. After seeking advice, the couple has come up with a solution, but it wasn’t easy. Read on to find out what they decided.

Adopting three out of four foster daughters?

A loving foster family is facing a difficult decision: whether to adopt only three out of four foster daughters. While the family is committed to providing a loving home for all of the girls, the youngest daughter’s biological family has refused to allow her to be adopted, which has triggered her abandonment issues. Despite reassurances from the family, the youngest daughter is still afraid of being removed from the family. The family had hoped that proposing adoption would demonstrate their commitment to being the girls’ parents for life, but the situation has only made things worse for the youngest daughter. Now, the family must decide whether to disappoint their youngest daughter by adopting only three of the girls or risk exacerbating her abandonment issues by proceeding with the adoption of all four.
