depending on where you live

you may have a lot more "power" then you think about the kids leaving or not, the state my son is from, foster parents have a lot of power, in my home state unless the kids has been with you more the 18 months, you have no hope really, and even then if you fight them you most likely will loose adoption subsidy, but do have a good chance of winning in court...

I agree with you about the foster family thing though, the ones who seem not to care when a kid comes and leaves, always treat the foster kids like outsiders (no activites, good clothes, etc.....) transports kids to any visits are like their favorite foster homes ...and the ones who really get attached to the kids and treat them with respect and try to give them some kind of normal life, they dump on them and they usually quit....
