[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You simply can’t do this with two working parents. It isn’t fair to the child. [/quote] I am a teacher who has taught many foster kids, and also an adoptive parent. I have kids who have been in institutional care, or sent to foster homes so far away that they had to give up their school and community too, and kids who were separated from siblings because the only home had one bed. Those things are unfair. A loving foster family and aftercare? That is not a problem for the kid. [/quote] The issue is these kids need mental health treatment generally and often have SN that need therapy plus family visits. It’s far more work to do it right. If you do the absolute minimum ok but with that many kids under 6 and working how much time do they have. [/quote]
