Hi Tricia,
I'm new to this site but I think it is wonderful that you want to see your foster parents. We fodster a baby girl from 4 days of age until she was 10 months old. This was in the late 70's and foster parents had NO options. She was adopted and I have searched for her ever since. I will never stop searching as long as I live. If I am ever lucky enough to find her I will respect her rights and feelings. If she does not want to see or talk to me I can accept it and will accept it.

Am I unusual in being more interested in finding them than I was in finding my (now deceased) birthmother, I see them more as my first family even though I last saw them when I was eight months old in the 1950s.

Keep looking for your foster parents--I can assure you they will be thrilled to hear from you! I recently had to send my foster kids home that I had for 12 months and I definetely love them. I always knew they would not stay permanently (my husband and I are too old to start a new family) and never dreamed I would end up loving them as much as my own children--but that is exactly what happened and it happened rather quickly (within the first few months). We all (including bio children) greived when they left and our family definetely has a whole in it. I hope to reuinite with them when they are adults and let them know how special they were to us.
