So we're hoping to adopt soon. It's complicated and I don't really want to go in to the details on here but a concern of mine has become the childrens current relationship with their foster carer. Despite their placement with her ending soon she's letting them call her mum (it's a new thing) and they and her are incredibly attached to each other. I think it's a great sign that they are able to form that relationship but she decided not to tell them they wouldn't be staying with her permanently and I'm worried about how they are going to take the transition which should be happening in the next 2 to 3 months. I also know the foster carer wants to maintain contact post adoption but given how attached they are to her, while I know it's important that she remains a part of their life, I'm worried about how they will cope with the loss of her as their 'mum' or primary caregiver. Any words of wisdom?
