The unknown probably scares most of us. However, we figure that a birthchild is a large unknown too.
Saying goodbye is something I believe all foster parents and potential foster parents have to address. I haven't had any kiddos yet so I defer many comments to those that have, but I believe that every parent handles this differently.
And I don't think foster parenting is for everyone. Some people can't let go and say goodbye. Some can say goodbye knowing that they have made a positive impact while the child was in their home. Some don't realize they aren't mentally ready for the "goodbyes" until it happens. That's a personal choice really but I think it warrants good discussion between the two of you.
Just my personal opinion.....take that for what its worth (not much)
Wish you the best of luck.
