I'll probably have to delete the photo soon, for confidentiality sake.
There is an expression in Yiddish that seems to apply to both you and your husband: You are both examples of a "Gitta Neshuma" which translates as a "good soul".

Re: Best photograph I've ever taken
Probably a good idea. Based on my limited experience even well intended people working for CPS don't show much understanding/common sense. Originally Posted by lovelife65

Re: Best photograph I've ever taken
Two comments:
1. The smiles on both parties' faces shows the joy that is shared here. You both do a very valuable social service.
2. It is sad but true that one cannot take a photo of a child for fear of the consequences. Even if that is fleeting, it is great we got to see that face light up.Last edited by Tronhard; 12th February 2018 at 07:00 PM.

Not a technically perfect photograph by any means.
Thank you all for your kind comments.

Sharon, as you say it is not technically perfect. But, it is perfect in capturing what is a very special and heartfelt moment.

Re: Best photograph I've ever taken
Thank you John, PD, Ole and Rita.
we will certainly have our work cut out for us, but if we can break that cycle ... that's what it's about. Giving this little guy a chance.

Re: Best photograph I've ever taken
to me a great photo is a photo that reaches out and grabs me emotionally. Yours is a great photo. Just blur the face.

We all ARE the movement for these kiddos. Lots of hard work but if the cycle of trauma is broken, it is so so worth the fight.
