Unfortunately this is what fostering entails. You have understand the kids are not legally free until TPR and there is always the possibility of relatives coming up for placement or siblings being moved together. That is what fostering is. You give you heart to them as your own for as long as possible..sometimes it's forever, sometimes it's not. If you can't handle that part of fostering then maybe you should think about taking a break or switching to adopting instead (kids legally free).
