I wonder if anyone could help.

A little boy in our wider family is in foster care. Prior to this myself and my DD saw him regularly. He then went into foster care and after about 6 months a transition plan was started for him to move back to one of his parents. It went on for 4 months and my DD saw him weekly. However, the plan broke down and since that my DD has not seen him. I see him twice a week as I go to contact with one of his parents. It is coming up to his final hearing and it looks like he will go into a long-term foster home. My DD asks about seeing him and asked if we could take him to see Father Christmas.

Is there anyway my DD would be allowed to see him if he stays in foster care? We aren't blood related. But we both love him very much.

There is a big movement to maintain positive relationships for kids in care. Speak (and write) to the child's social worker.

Oh, that's good! I'll speak to her, thank you
