[QUOTE="DDD, post: 414550, member: 35"] I have no personal experience to share as I haven't walked in yours shoes. I did, however, serve as a Guardian Ad Litem with the court system and I truly believe that everyone needs to focus on "the best interests of the child". In some cases it requires that a Mom not be focused so much on reunification as they are on where their child is most able to flourish. Sometimes it is best for the child to stay in foster...if the foster care is meeting the needs and there is a sense of permanentness. It sounds like your daughter is doing well. If her placement is with an experienced family then that is a challenge for you. Outsiders may think they know what is best for your daughter but each situation is different. Don't let feelings of guilt or inadequacy become your focus. I wish you well. DDD [/QUOTE]
