We try to include them as much as the child wants them. Some were invited to our home the morning of, some spent the night before, some we took to their Gparents house the night before for the entire family to see, some we went to their home to see parents and siblings, and some called on ther phone. We always video our holiday and send a copy with the child. We always developed a relationship with their parents and our kids have always been teens, I believe this makes a difference b/c they can say what they are comfortable with when a young child might not be able to. I also understand that we were different than most foster families b/c most of our children's visits were in our home at our request. I know most of ya'll have been worried about the other families finding your home or number with good reason. I say go with what you feel good with.
