Future is not something you talk about when you foster. It is a touchy and hard area to bring up to someone who fosters. I am of course talking from experience here. I probably didn't go into fostering with the best intentions, I wanted a family, period. Foster care was our best bet for creating a family, and it looks like we will soon be an official family.
Future is hard because before we got the paper work we lived in the here and now, maybe next month as well. Not a whole season ahead or a first birthday or an adoption party, or even our hopes and dreams for our little Prince. That is what we are living in now, maybe preemptively, but hopefully. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel, we know his future could be rocky, we are excited to just have a future with him in it.
