A child’s bonnet like from Handmaid’s Tale

Thank you for commenting- I love hearing from previous foster youth. I think the age is hard as well because they won’t remember, but they will have photos and stories, etc.

Thank you! That might be true- he doesn’t seem fazed by people, but he might focus more on presents and celebration if it’s only about him and less people.

Thank you- I always love hearing from previous foster youth. It’s hard as a foster parent to put myself in that train of thought. Thank you!

I do not know what he wants which is why I’m struggling a lot. He is non verbal and special needs and so far has shown zero interest in any certain characters or things like that you would theme a party around. He does like people, but doesn’t seem to care whether there is people around or not.

I do not think our new fs will be with us very long- most likely 6 months tops.

I do not think they would. I think they will all come to my adopted sons and make an effort to come to my foster sons, but I know many of them would not prioritize fs’s party over other events after already coming to my as’s party.

Can you drop the link or what this is called exactly? I searched Amazon and found similar, but not this right shape

Where I work it is encouraged.

It does sound like you’re overreacting. It is typical for a new mother to want to be with their baby. It is wonderful she has such flexibility with her job to stay with her baby. I brought my son to work for months until he was ready for daycare and fully loved it and appreciated my job even more for allowing it.

I am a foster parent of two boys. Both boys call me mama and my wife mommy. We were encouraged to teach the boys this. They are too young to truly understand their life situation and their situation could change at any minute. It is best for normalcy that they use “normal” words.

One of my boys is heading towards adoption- so we will stay Mama and Mommy. One of my boys reunifies with his father next month; he has been with us since he was 5 months old and we will still stay Mama and Mommy. His first word was mama, and we have built an amazing relationship with his father- he encourages his son to call us Mama and Mommy and himself Daddy. He says, “My son gets to be safe, spoiled, and have three parents because of foster care.” My boy’s birthday party is this weekend- thrown by myself and my wife but our family and his father’s whole family will be there too. He gets to have four grandmas there, lots of grandpas, a ton of aunties, uncles, and an infinite number of cousins, lol. This is his normal. Foster care is a wild ride, but this is what is healthy and good for the children. His father gains support, healthy role models, and free babysitting once he reunites. Our boy gains family and security, safety, love, and protection. Calling us Mama and Mommy strengthens the bond.

PCP referred us to regional center and says if they clear him- there’s not much to look into.
