It seems like I read tons of posts about foster children and emotions, particularly when it comes to their biological family. Foster parents seem to deal with a lot of issues stemming from the child's sadness, anger, parentification, resentment, and especially after-effects of visitation.

Has anyone fostered a child, though, that just seems totally, completely indifferent to "everything"? And I don't mean kids who tend to bury emotions and hold everything inside... more like NO emotions, no feelings either way? They could live here, live there, see relatives, not see relatives, etc...?

We went on vacation recently and our 4 year-old fd stayed with her brother for several days. I kept hearing, "Be prepared for the aftermath!" but there was none. It was fine to see him, now it's fine to be home. There's no change in her behavior, and she doesn't talk about him any more than she did before the visit.

Just curious if this describes any children you may have fostered. For someone who has wanted to be a mother for a long time, it's been difficult having one I haven't really been able to bond with.
