I hope that this thread does not turn into a relatives vs. us thread. There are many reasons why families don't step up or step in and then there may be circumstances that are unknown to the fostering family as to why it takes so long for relatives to step up and/or step in. Each story is different and each family is different.
It's no fun whatever side you are on. Sometimes, you have to wonder, what is really the best for the children.
