Does anyone have a DC that is with them on a permanency fostering placement?
Do you think it's a comparable family set-up to adoption, or is there always a bit of a barrier because of the legal difference?
For example, do you refer to BM as mum and you by name still? Do you consider them as "there until 18" or part of the family for life?
If you have BC do you try to treat them the same or is that impossible given the fact they have their own family?
Also what level of supervision / involvement do you have with SW? Do they tend to disappear once the child is settled?
Sorry if these are clumsy questions - I'm just trying to get a feel for how it works in reality.
