So I know my new little one has their life info, and it's their info, not mine to share. And I know for those difficult questions I can say that.
People say "So do you know all about their life before they came into care?"
Me verbally "Yes"
Me mentally "Because I am not telling you anything at all!"
But sometimes it is a very innocent sounding question and I am not sure what to do.
"So have they just been in the one foster home?"
"Have they moved around a lot."
Etc etc
How many ways can I say 'I can't say.' and what did you feel you could say??
If you say something totally innocent like 'They have got brown hair.' You are giving away much. I am thinking how much can give away that is OK! Otherwise I look like a nodding smiling doll!!
