Thanks everyone. It's so quiet and I keep thinking I can hear him. His mum has texted to ask how I am and to say he's fine which was lovely of her. I do hope they'll keep in touch.

I rang placements to inform them baby had left which I'm expected to do and as they don't know, as yet, of my indecision re leaving fostering they just said ok your back on the system for a newborn! I didn't correct them as there isn't a baby due anytime soon so it will give me time to make my mind up

Well done EMIN, you really are an inspiration. I hope when the time comes for our 3 week old to leave us I will try my best to deal with it all as you have.

My thoughts are with you x

Oh earthmother - I do hope that you do not give up on fostering. Of course it's your choice, but as you know demand far outstips supply and you sound like a truly excellent carer. Sorry I shouldn't really be saying this as I know nothing of your life or what you've been through. If you do give up though I hope that you will remember how much you have given to very needy children at a traumatic time in their young lives.

Just wanted to send lots of love and cuddly thoughts to the inspiration that is you EMIN.
If I can be half as good as you after all this time fostering I will be content indeed.
Have a glass of wine and give yourself a pat on the back,you deserve it.Hope that you are feeling okay.xx

Thank you again

It was strange not putting him to bed last night and even more strange coming downstairs without him wriggling and snuffling into my neck (sigh) His mum has just texted to say he slept from 11pm until 6am which is his usual sleep pattern so he must be setting well.

I on the other hand couldn't sleep, empty nest I guess
