We also just celebrated our Fd's birthday. My best friend asked how we celebrated it and when I told her she said"Wow, that seems like alot". I replied that it was no more and no less than we do for all of our children. I was irritated. I have been amazed at the support of many and amazed at the lack of support from others. I, too, feel like some people feel that my fostering takes away from my involvement with their children and it certainly does. I like having a full house--so I am always bringing other kids home with me. I am more cautious with my fd being here because I don't want to overwhelm her. I have decided that I don't care what other people think. If anyone thinks that our fostering takes away from their already loved and cherished children to provide that same love for a child that needs and deserves it than who is being selfish? Not me!!
