SAYING GOODBYE TO OUR FOSTER TODDLERS

[@kaiw522]

Everyone always says "I couldn't do it because I'd get too attached" but..... these kids deserve someone that cares that much.

[@brandip2446]

I agree, I think when I hear that, I cringe... feeling those Littles don't get a choice to be treated less. Being strong and unselfish and putting the children's needs before our own is a blessing
Thanks Peter you are amazing and thanks for giving the children love in their time of need and loneliness!!!

[@amyrivers4093]

As a foster Mum I would be lying if I said it wasn't heartbreaking to say goodbye after looking after precious children for a period of time so we can't expect it to be something others should do especially if one hasn't done it themselves.

[@junbh2]

Deciding to foster or not foster is a very personal choice, but the language of 'I'd get too attached' can be pretty hurtful or even insulting to foster parents. Do you think they get attached less than you? Of course not, and it's a good thing because attachment is exactly what young kids need most. They just decide that the pain is worth it for other things. No one else needs to make the same decision, everyone is unique. But it's quite an unkind thing to say in front of foster parents.

[@larrellpalmer5179]

@junbh2 What I said to Peter is none of your business. I am a mother and great grand mother I love and care for many young and old and yes I do get attached to them. God bless those who can be a foster parent.

My belief is any child brought into my home should get the benefit of being loved unconditionally as if born to me even if the state had seen my role as a glorified babysitter. Struggles did not get to determine my commitment. Faith pulled us through at times. I have been blessed with multiple children. Each has been a gift. Each brough some sorrow as they moved on. They will always be part of my life story and loved. I praise God for stretching me to take the risks and allowing me to learn I can handle the potential heartaches.
Stay strong. God's got it. Live to make a positive difference in someone's life.
