I have been a foster mother for two years to a toddler since he was an infant. I have a good relationship with the birth family. It looks like he will be reunited.

My question is: should I maintain a relationship with this child after he is reunited with this birth parents. They welcome my involvement and I would like to maintain a relationship with him (and them). However, some friends (who aren't foster parents) said it may not be in the child's best interest ie maybe it would confuse him or delay bonding with the birth parents, etc.

Any advice on whether to stay involved with young children you have fostered?

Thanks.
