Good to know that they are asked. Reason I keep asking this, we've thought about becoming foster parents, and I think this would be one of the hardest things to deal with -- if someone came and took away a child we'd bonded with, a child who did not want to leave, and it wasn't to be reunited with family or be adopted, but into another foster home. I'd be tempted to pack up the kids and skip town :).[/quote]

I am not the OP, but I am a foster parent.  I have never ever seen this happen.  In the county I am in they work very hard to avoid moving kids.  The only times that kids are moved from one foster family to another foster family is when the initial foster family requests the child be moved.   Another very rare circumstance is when the initial foster family breaks a 'big deal' rule.   They are not just out there moving kids willy nilly.

Also- unlike the OP of this thread- we do keep in contact with some of the children who have left our home.  Those relationships have been very positive for all concerned.[/quote]
