After reading about foster carers I would like to make a comment that you must remember that you are so lucky and privileged to be looking after children that cannot be looked after by their birth family. As for lack of interest from birth parents that info is confidential and you don't know how birth parents and their family feel. I think it must be really difficult not to become attatched but you must remember that they are not your children and that you are being paid to do a job that YOU have chosen. I think it is awful just to make judgements that their families don't care. It is a devestating experience for families not able to see their children due to certain factors. You don't know how lucky you are to have special moments with them that can never be recaptured. I am aware also that some children are literally rescued from awful families, abuse etc but not all parents and families are this kind of situation. I just feel by reading some views that it is prejudged that families don't care and that these children are lucky to be with you when in fact you are so blessed to be with them. children that are so missed until they can be with their family.
