I'm sorry I dont buy the point that the in laws didnt get training therefore didnt know what to expect. My parents were ripped to shreds when my fd left after 15 months but when I took our next placements - they were supportive as were my in laws. They are supportive for 2 reasons. 1 they love us and 2 they are mature enough to realize it IS NOT the children's faults that they are foster children. None of them asked for this. They are simply kids and they depend on adults acting like human beings. I do not tolerate having any child in my home treated less than they should be - I have a brother in law who is no longer allowed in my home for that very reason. Until he grows up and realizes he is ignorant about things - he will be banned from our home. We took these kids in to protect them and teach them about love. I dont believe foster parents should subject these already hurt kids to more negativity - they'll have years to learn about that as they get older.
