I hear you. I'm not a foster parent (waiting to be matched for adoption) but i don't get how kids can just get passed from one foster home to another. I understand if there was a huge discrepancy between what the agency told you of a child, and the actual child (turns out to be sexually abusive, very violent etc)and its a safety issue. But shouldnt FPs be expecting that kids are hard to handle, act out, etc?
Recently, here in MI, a 2 yr old foster child was killed in his foster home (blunt trauma to the head), they don't know who did it yet but the fm's other fkids and bio kids were removed. This child, and his 4 yr old sister were removed from their bio home for extremely filthy conditions, and this home in which he was killed was their *fourth* foster home. 4?!? In two months? That has to be terrible for little kids.
Sounds like you're doing a great job with your new guy. Good luck!
