I am in contact with a baby that I fostered (newborn) that was being placed for adoption (mom changed her mind and I had to remove baby from adoptive home and return him to mom - complicated, painful story).
He is now 7. We exchange yearly pictures, letters and brief updates. I cannot begin to tell you what it means to ME to get those pictures and updates. To know he is ok (I loved baby deeply!). Little guy knows that he was going to be adopted out and that we took care of him while his mom was making up her mind. The aparents in this situation (who also became very good friends of mine) also enjoy knowing that I have continued contact with them.
