Childs lifebook

[Mrspimplepopper]

Can anyone help please? My very good friend is a foster carer. One of her children is ready for adoption and she is busy creating a memory box and life book for her. She has asked if I could contribute something to the book. Her aim is to help the child in the future understand the people who loved and cared for her whilst in foster care.
Can anyone give me any idea of what to write please?

I work in this area and I’d suggest writing either a memory of something you did with the child and foster carer so the child has something concrete to be able to either remember or imagine depending on their age. It doesn’t have to be anything amazing, it can be when you all went to the park and something happened. Children who are adopted often lose those types of memories/stories that a parent can provide so they’re lovely for them to have.

I'm an adopter and I would say the same. You're creating the written form of the "do you remember that funny time when..." stories that families tell, enabling this child to keep those memories from each period of their life. So it might be when they did something funny or brave or clever, or the first time they did something if you were there, or just something you'll always remember about them.

Thankyou for your help and advice, I really was stuck for what i should write
