If the current foster family and yours both have computers with web cams, could you maybe do some video chat with the whole family around the camera or popping in? Topics of conversation might include what she did in school, her favorite music, what powers she'd have if she was a superhero. (I ask that question to my cousins, neices and nephews. They think it is a fun game of pretending. I don't want to know which existing superhero they'd be. I want them to think about what qualities they'd want to have. The kids end up brainstorming for each other as well. I always learn a bit about what's important to them and how they think which is my real goal.)
