Wow---just a letter saying, "thank you so much for all the love you've put into this child" would mean the world. Updates along the way would be even more special.
I've been lucky. We ended up being really close to my son's first foster parents---in fact, we're having dinner with them on Friday after they come to his Christmas concert at the daycare. :-) They're our closest friends now and just mean the world to us.
I'm close to one of my former fdaughter's soon-to-be adoptive moms, too. We got to know each other when she was fostering her first daughter. Now we joke that we must be sisters, 'cause I'm her kids' aunt.
Not everybody has to end up that close, of course, but knowing what happens down the line to the kids is such a huge reward.
