At the final reunification meeting (which all involved parties were at, including bios), I explained that if anything were to arise that I would want to make sure my former fosterdaughter was placed back with me. Last time she was removed she had to stay in a county group fostercare facility and that broke my heart...she was there for 2 months. ugh.
The bios and I have an unusually good relationship now. Former FD comes over several times a month and she still calls me mommy, yet her parents act like they don't care...they say "ohhh how cute". Dad even made a joke "you can have her" or "you wanna buy her off us". He acts as if he's kidding but I think there's a lil' truth to it. Mom had lost 3 kids years and years ago and they've been adopted by other families.
I told the bios that we are continuing to foster and we will until we adopt a child (not necessarily their child) but they know how much we love her and I'm sure they'd want her with us if they gave her up. They seem to really like us (possibly taking advantage of us in some ways - like free babysitting).
