Hi FLNewbie,
I'm sorry to hear of your dilemma. That happened to us a couple of times, and it stings, no doubt. We found that the best way to handle that sort of thing was to decide that you're doing it for the best interests of the child and hope that this is what's happening. It really sucks when you think that someone is meant to be with you. Truthfully however, our experience was that it didn't happen much... out of 50-odd kids that we fostered, 8 of them stayed permanently, and of the other 40, most went somewhere else for perfectly acceptable reasons, and only a couple hurt.
Keep your chin up. Have a look at our
story when you get a chance... it might cheer you up.
:-)
