When foster families consider adult adoption

My wife and I fostered a teenager for two years and now she's aging out of the system and we're talking about adopting her as an adult, but we're not sure how to navigate what that means for our relationship with her or with our biological kids. We all want to be family but nobody knows what that actually looks like.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to formalize love bumps against the complexity of creating family structures that don't have cultural templates.
