[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe this is a dumb question but why is the possibility of the child going into some kind of emergency foster care such a terrible option that everyone seeks to avoid it?

I get that it’s not ideal, but in my case all my friends are also working mothers and while they could maybe take one kid for a period of time, they wouldn’t have been able to take a baby and toddler, for instance. And my family of origin is dangerous and dysfunctional (alcoholics and violent).

I worried about this a lot when I had a baby and toddler and it was the height of COVID.

It seems like temporary foster care wouldn’t be the worst thing but people talk like it is. I just wondered why?[/quote]
I don’t get it either. Definitely not ideal, but [b]I fail to see how it’s any different than the underpaid daycare workers we willingly hand off our kids to every day.[/b] [/quote]

Not everyone does that.
Perhaps the people who are concerned about their kids going into foster care don't. [/quote]
