6 weeks respite

[cuttsy]

We have had 3 kids with us for over a year and we have now been told they have to go into respite for 6 weeks. My kids and foster kids are devastated by this with mood swings, tears and not eating. They dont go till Friday....but I feel there is something they are not telling us...though some have said this sometimes happens, especially as our kids are older. They want to stay and ours want them to stay.....any advice???

This seems a bit strange, 6 weeks in one go is a bit odd. Why do they have to go? I would say there is defiantly something they are not telling you.

I thought respite only happened when the foster carer requested it!

6 weeks sounds a bit like an assessment type period of time. You'd be better posting this on the fostering forum and asking Nananina for some advice.
