We have never had a placement last for longer then 6 months. Most of them have been less then three. Our move is 8 to 10 months away, so I do not feel the need to tell the agency any time soon.
The kids that come to our home get treated like our very own children. They get swimming lessons, a dog, their own room, family dinners, church, and extended family. They are very special in our home. We are foster parents because of we saw so many who did not put their foster kids first and treat them like they are in a forever family, no matter how long. I have seen too many foster parents who are in this for the wrong reason. I would rather have a child in my home, help them get healthy, teach them some skills, show them that Jesus loves them, and then transition them to another home when we get close to moving, then to have them just go to another home.
Thanks for the feedback.
