8. Actually I adopted my daughter

I was a foster parent only through the adoption process. But my daughter still has contact with her former foster parents every time she is home. Recognizing that connections are important to children who have had so many broken relationships.

And if she does want contact with her birth mother, I will help her find her. Her birth father died a few years ago.
