I guess a lot of me is really thinking more of my parents and how it would affect them if I had been taken away.

*nod* And since you know and love them, that probably affects you on a more personal level than even thinking of the abstraction of your infant self.

Think about the foster parents, too, though. (Yours and others.) Even when you know the separation is coming, it's still got to be heartbreaking. That's one reason I'm not a foster parent. I don't think I could go through that again and again.

It's a very, very odd feeling.

Hmm, I wonder if this is how men feel about circumcision threads.
