Disruption after four weeks-help!

You say you're brand new. Did your agency teach you about trauma, loss and PTSD in foster kids? Mine did not; everything I know I learned from this website (the earlier incarnation). Was she in therapy? The SW should have done that first. From the foster child's mind, you're another set of adults who have given up on her.. You don't say how old she is but I'm betting you're not her first foster home. It's tough; the SW should have been honest. Not saying you're wrong but with a kid who's had the loss of birth family (no matter how bad) and the loss of foster families (they usually bond with the foster family), foster kids are going to make things a struggle. I say that as a single parent of 4 fost/adoptive sons. Love is not enough.
