Help Please! (transitioning child from foster home to adoptive home)

Hi Bethany, is the foster mom willing to keep in contact? perhaps the first week he is living with you, he may be able to visit her a few times, and continue visits while decreasing the number of them until the attachment itself starts to transfer so to speak. visits that are not in her home would be ideal. I would see if she could give some photos to you of them together that you might frame and put in his new room, continue talking about her. We talk with our little guy a lot about his previous foster mom "we know you must be missing Miss Faith right now, would you like to color a picture for her?" In our case i thought it would be a bigger deal than it actually is. I believe due to our sons attachment issues he bonded immediately to us and hardly thinks about Faith at all, unnaturally so. So keep in mind your worries may be for nothing! BUT keep in mind if there is an escalation in tantrums or negative behavior it could be due to the separation ! and i know you will remain very sensitive to that, i can tell.Good luck! :)
