I think the idea of the video is a wonderful idea.
I have seen that listed in books as well,
What I had posted above was just a small amount of what I have seen.
Anyways I wish you the very best in this
and if I can be of any help to you feel free to contact me.
Take care and may God bless.

Thanks for all your great ideas! They are in the same large city as us so we are able to see them a few times a week, transition time is a month, (it can be more depending on the particular childs needs) and yes we do work up to overnights. The nice thing is that thier therapist who has worked with them for a year is staying with them through the transition, and after for awhile so that there is always someone they are familiar with. I'm finishing up the photo books to take them tommorow, and am planning on bringing books, coloring books as suggested to interact. We won't be running around too much the first couple of weeks because I also have 2 bio kids (4,and 9 months) so that should keep us home for plenty of bonding! I hadn't thought about phone calls, that is a neat idea, I also wondered about doing a video their fostermom could play for them.
