They need to be placed into homes or facilities that have had training that meets their needs, and not placed in regular foster homes with other children. We are putting our children and our Foster parents at risk. It takes two working parents in most family's to make a living and that includes our Foster parents. If a child comes into care on a Friday night it is most likely that he may be moved on Monday morning because there is no Day Care available. Every move is damaging to our children.
Stability is the key in healthy children.
Some times feeling beside yourself because you can not stop the tremors or the pain gnawing in their little tummies. As Foster Parents you answer countless calls from school on your child's performance and behavior. Dealing with normal teenagers is a task in itself. As Foster Parents we are dealing with severely abused neglected children who have already been burdened with all of the baggage from above for years. Like with babies you stay up night after night to make sure they are in their beds.
