Well she "forgot" to tell family she already had me placed . I was with her two days when I was told I was being placed with a friend of her's that wanted me.
Nice huh?

I'm so sorry you experienced this! One of the biggest things I've learned as a foster parent is the importance of being truthful with the kids or birth family as much as possible. This is one of the things that I think is just awful about foster care.
The questions that I originally asked have proven to be very beneficial to me as I looked for answers on whether I would be helping or hurting children by participating in the foster care system.
My conclusion is that I would be helping. Many of the former foster children have posted on this forum and were glad that they were taken and/or adopted. Many have were glad to have been removed from their situations.
Thank you so much for adding your point of view to this. As always, I learn from each person.
