You're frustrated, and you wanna call a case worker and sign your son up for the first available foster family but then while you're bathing him, he looks up at you and gives you a toothless grin that just melts your heart. The smile doesn't go away (neither does the smell of chocolate cake batter) and you realize this is your son and he has the most pure and unconditional love for you so you lovingly smile back and he says "Da-Da"! Ain't that a hoot?
I see now why so many kids are in the system to be adopted. Sad to say, after this incident, I signed little Andrew up. They promised to have a home for him by mid-May.
