This is not a divorce!
Hello
Having just read your post I do have sympathy with you in having to part with this child.
As you said in the beginning you knew this was a possiblity. If you did not want her to take any of the things that you bought for her when she left your care then you should have not given them to her, or made it clear that they were your possessions for her to borrow right from the start.
All the items that you bought for 'her' should be 'hers' to do with as she pleases.
No one buys someone a present/gift/item with the view of taking it back if something unfortunate happens between you.
You are concerned that when she leaves you that have taught her some valuable to take with her in her future life - well one of these things should be when you give someone something, you do not take it back when it suits you or when something no longer suits you.
I hope your future works out for you - as indeed I hope your foster daughter's life is successful and happy.
Regards
Rowan
