My foster girls left Aug 3 we had them for 3 yrs. It was hard letting them go but we knew this was the best for them, we gave them a big going away party, I bought them charm bracelets so they can remember us and I wrote them some letters telling them how we felt about them. I was the one that got the visits going for the new family, and I made sure that I was always open for transporting the girls. We brought all the stuff out to the new family we had 2 truck loads of stuff that the girls had in our home.
We have yet to hear from the new family at all, she won't return my emails. I do not feel right calling her if she won't return emails, I feel hurt and mad that she has not emailed just to say they are fine. I feel like we have put all this time and effort into these children and now they are gone in a flash with no word. I am not asking for a visit I just want to see how they are doing.
I sent R a birthday card and money (check) I know they cashed it and I know she signed her name, but no mention through email or thank you card. I always taught the girls to send thank you cards. I am just really hurt, they were like my girls and I cared for them like mine!
Now we are in the process of adopting a boy that is 8, I know what you are going through. His foster mom is nothing like I was with the girls new family, she is not eager to get visits started, called me once but hasn't set up any visits. He lives 2 1/2 hrs from us. The foster mom is not bringing him to us but the social worker is. It is hard to not have a that contact to see how my son is doing. But I know that once he moves in I will send her a note saying he is doing good!
