Just my opinion,......
As hard as it may be for you to see that, it is really really really good for the foster families to meet the adoptive family and know that the child they loved so deeply is going to a wonderful family. Of course its going to be hard on them when the child leaves but it would be far more painful if they couldn't see firsthand that they child is loved by their Adoptive Family. There are some crazy rumors about APs in Latin American, among them being that Americans adopt their child to harvest body parts. No kidding. I don't think my son's foster family would have been able to make peace with his departure if they had not been given an opportunity to meet us. It is also a great way to get direct information about the child. I wouldn't rely on anyone else to relay accurate and complete information about the child in respect to habits, likes/dislikes, sleeping arrangements, diet, illness, scheduling.
I will open and close with the same line.
