I can't answer and I'll tell you why..........I too want SOOOOOOO badly to adopt Chevy, but I KNOW that I should not. The way in which it differs from your situation is that I KNOW that he is to remain in a foster home until he reaches 1 year of age as that is the age when our group lets them into the actual shelter building, so I know he will be here until then or until adopted. My theory is (for now), I am enjoying him (as my own) but am also giving him every opportunity to find his new parents (taking him to adoption day events). SO, if you have the option to continue to foster while still giving her a CHANCE at a new life, I'd say go for it. If the only way she will have a chance for adoption is to go to the shelter, maybe you can put a time limit on it (Like if 30 days go by, I will adopt her myself). Here is hoping you can decide the best thing to do.
