Hi,
Does anyone foster or has fostered when they have their own young Dc?
I’m trying to get my head around the potential impact on a 5 yo. I know some short term placements can last up to 2 years. Does anyone have any experience of their own children dealing with the end of placements and the potential feelings of loss.
I don’t want to take in young children from unstable backgrounds, help them, but ultimately leave my own child in grief or with long term attachment issues.
Or, am I overly worrying and actually if your child’s from a stable background they will bounce back from the loss easily and it be a positive outcome on their lives.
Has anyone got any lived experience or words of wisdom?
