The alternative, placing her in foster care, *guarantees* that she will have that trauma. I really have to disagree on this one. Since I've been through it myself, I can tell you that the 90-day foster care part isn't a trauma. Being separated from one's birth mother is rough, I do know that, but for many reasons, not just what happens right out of the womb (but I'm sure that has something to do with it). I'm sorry I'm just annoyed at all this conjecture about something that people don't really know, or understand. I've been there, THAT WAS ME, and those 90 days? Cakewalk. Really.
