I would not allow contact with the former foster mom for at least 6 months to a year. The child's focus needs to be on attaching to you. Prolong visitation at this age is only good for the fmom and not the child. I would, however, accept the therapy if they would use a therapist familiar with the treetment of attachment in foster/adoption. It might help.

Also, if the CW said to do it, do it. If you don't and the child has additional problems, they'll assume you are the problem. Sometimes, when a case worker makes a suggestion, it's not really a suggestion. I got in trouble with a judge once for not taking a SW suggestion(that later turned out to be wrong).
