[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15 plus years ago I seriously considered this, as a single parent, and attended foster parent training program in DC. Seriously comprehensive and gave us “do gooders” a rude awakening. We met current DC foster and adoptive parents to share their lives and challenges. What concerned me the most was that despite all of the tremendous time and attention some of these adoptive parents put forth, and love, in several cases, their teens ran away to return to their former hoods and ultimately left their new families to return to their former lives, devastating the adoptive parent(s) who lost them.[/quote] I mean - why would it be surprising that they would return to their friends, family and neighborhood? They’re teens, not infants. [/quote]
