I agree...I love the classes we take, but sometimes they make me feel bad. Our trainer was saying it is good to take a camera to the visits to get pictures of the bio parents and children together. I never even thought to do that. We haven't had a visit in 6 months and may never again. I can only claim ignorance on that. Sometimes I forget that our fs IS a foster son. And I never realized he will grieve the loss of his bio family. He's been with us since birth...he won't know any different but he will still have a loss. I wish I had known these things before we got him.
