My wife and I adopted three girls that we fostered here in Georgia.

It is usually the easiest transition to foster kid's with the possibility of adoption, but it does not always end up that way.
Sometimes the kids go back in and out of foster care until the judge drops the hammer on the so called (parents) of theese kids.

In my case it was a real roller coaster ride for the poor kids and all the false promises from their crack head biological mom, until she screwed up bad and went to jail for four years.
She finally gave up her parental rights.

Just recently , our oldest adopted daughter graduated high school and her scum bag bio-Mom showed up at the graduation ceremony uninvited and attempted to confront (my) daughter with a band of scuzz balls that she brought with her.
My daughter said "Get away from me, I don't know why you would come here and try to ruin everything the only real parents I ever had worked so hard for."
The ex-mom got in her face and her scum bag boyfriend puffed up his chest and started walking closer.
I told him, "One more step, and I'm gonna drop you like a bad habit!"

He put his hands up and told the 'ol lady "I think it's time we dun better go."

My daughter was devastated.
It really brought back alot of bad memories seeing that lady again since that scuzz ball let every man that was in her life, including their biological father rape those girls for years.

I swear, that was the closest I ever came to actually killing a person.

I guess that's one down side to adopting locally huh?

Sorry for the rant.
