My friend is a foster carer

hoho l like!

I don't think I could be a foster carer. I get too attached to kids and although I would go into it knowing that they were only there for a while, I would find it difficult to let them go. I think I'd be more suited to adopting the children. I'm not sure either how to view it from a child's perspective. They just get used to their foster parents when they have to move on to adoptive parents and it must be a big wrench to them, having to adjust all over, leaving the children you've been with for a while and the foster parents. I've seen, many a time, a child come back to their foster mothers and the other children they've grown to know as their brothers and sisters, so it can't be easy for them either. Brightest Blessings my friend.

Your friend is doing a very honorable thing... being a foster parent is not an easy thing to do... and she is doing these children a great favor by shielding them for the ugly world out there... I would love to be a foster parent... but i do not know if there is such a program here in my country... a nun told me i can do that for on of the children in their orphanage... but the place is too far for me to go to... well, someday when finances allow me... i would like to adopt a baby girl or boy of my own...

Hi maximax8, Your friend is doing a wonderful job and I think children are better off with foster parents where the have a family life rather than being left in a children's home, I'm sure children are much happier being fostered out where there is no choice of staying with their mum. Tamara

Your friend is an awesome person, and I am a child that was adopted by my father and I could not love him no more then if his blood actually ran through my veins. I am a daddy's girl, and he holds the key to my heart and always will.
