Of course, I cannot wait until she does, I am a little worried about how this will affect the child's mental and emotional development. She is 15 months right now, and at a very important age in which security and stability are key factors in her progress. Her mother has a history of mental illness and was put into foster care. She has been with this foster family for a few months now, so she is pretty settled in, and probably has grown some attachments to certain people and rituals. Since we live out of state, my mother can't visit often enough for my neice to get used to her, so the change is going to be so sudden that I am a bit concerned. Does anyone have any tips or advice that may help the situation?
