Thank you for sharing that link. I don’t know how that family does this. I don’t know if I could care of a child and have them become a part of my family only to have them leave. So many children need help and I am thankful that others can do what I am unable to do.
Thanks for the link. There’s often not much written about the experience of foster parenting, I know I don’t write about it because it would break all boundaries of confidentiality, etc. I eat up anything I can read on the subject, helps me not feel like I’m going unusually crazy….
I was dying to ask you Victoria if the Australian experience is anything like this. We are considering foster parenting one day.
