Here in Virginia, unless it is an emergency removal, there's a gradual transition. In my son's case, we met him at a neutral place (Burger King) for 2 hours. Next, we had a day long visit. Next, he came for a weekend. Next, for 4 days. Then, he was placed with us. Of course, we didn't have to travel to another country to do this. An emergency removal is extremely abrupt, but usually the children are permitted to say goodbye to their foster parents at least.
