Yesterday we had a glorious 3 hours meeting up with two of our LOs who moved onto adoption last year. We are so grateful to the adopters who had the courage to arrange the meet. We had seen them 6 weeks after they moved, but now the Adopters feel that it is the right time to meet again, especially as the children have been asking. Not only that, but another meet is to planned in a few months as the children have requested one. Brilliant Adopters, the children are a delight, and very happy FCs!!  |

LO and I recently met up with fc and family. I am very grateful that we are able to meet up. Even though LO little, he told me he was very excited when I told him we were meeting them and did a little excited dance. And the fc and family clearly love seeing him.
So pleased imp that these adopters are keen to keep you in the LOs lives.

very envious imp, Simba was with FC for nearly 4 years, he still misses them but they just arent interested in any meaningful contact. We have sent birthday presents and not even had a thank you. I would love him to be able to see them, they were such an important part of his life for so long

Already discussing appropriate time to meet up with Sqk's FC. She likes to keep in contact with all her former FC & given how well she prepared Sqk and how we connected intend to keep contact.

I'm jealous for different reasons to all these lovely adopters, having recently had a meet up that didn't go too well.
I agree with Sivier that it must be a joy to see them thriving - it shows that all the hard work put in by us, and new parents, does actually pay off!!
I have a few previous foster children who I see regularly and have to admit those are the ones who I'm told (via their SWs) are settling in best and making great progress. You must be thrilled right now!

How fab for you Imp... and for the children! It's lovely to hear that other adopters are planning to do the same... we couldn't imagine leaving LO's FC behind - they obviously have such a bond and will miss each other terribly... thanking our lucky stars that FC wants to stay in touch and feel a great debt to her for keeping LO loved and safe until we came along  |

like nomoretears the former fosterbubs I have had contact with are the ones who have settled best and are still the best adjusted now. maybe other factors at play of course as well. the least settled is the blonde bombshell, but least said about that one the better I guess now.

I'm still in contact with middlys Fc 8 plus years on. Biglys didn't really want to main contact after the initial visit but they had some very good reasons for wanting to get on with their own stuff. And then there's littlys. Given the nightmare that intros became we weren't even allowed to give our address. We did swap email addresses but because of their behaviour before, during and after intros it wasn't felt safe to maintain direct contact. I did my best but because it wasn't on their terms it didn't continue. Sad really as I've learned a lot about middly from his Fc. And she from us.

Little Prince has been with us for 9 years and although we haven't met up with his foster carer for a few years we still exchange Christmas cards and photos. Little Prince finds it very comforting that he is still remembered and thought about.
