Daily visits?

Our fc are going to be going home soon. Is it normal for them to have visits daily when they get close? They have a Friday to Monday visit and they still have an additional 4 visits.

Daily visits

I don't know if it is normal to have daily visits, but one of our foster sons had daily visits with his grandparents that were going to get custody and go back home to Mexico. The visits were all supervised by a prent aide that picked him up and brought him back to our house or daycare.

Daily visits are good for the children, if they are to go home so their parents or other relatives get use to meeting their needs every day.

Yup its normal. Usually when its close the children spend more time with bparents then the foster parents. I had one kiddo that stayed Sat-Wed, including spending the nights and only stayed with us Thur and Friday, for about three weeks when he perm stayed with bparents.
