[quote=Anonymous]Foster parent here - if you adopt from foster care, the kids will likely remember their parents. They have mandated visitation with their parents until the day you officially adopt them. For us, we're constantly talking about mommy and daddy and why she's not living with them (we only bring it up when she brings it up). So - if we adopt her, it's just likely that we'll have talked about bio parents her whole childhood. She'll continue to write them letters and maybe see one parent once a year or so, but it won't be as if it's a total shock to find her parents one day. Also - regardless of how you adopt (private, foster care, etc) - the bio parents are a part of your family forever. Whether they are seen or unseen, they are a presence. You have to get comfortable with that from the get go. But there is lots of support out there. You can do it. [/quote]
