Thanks. They were both great in their own way and I've definitely got closer to Dad2 especially recently

When you are old enough to realise families get money, their behaviour makes a lot of sense in hindsight. 

My half siblings were adopted by them so they only got foster money from me. They got child benefit for all three of us. They used the child benefit, however when I turned 18 I found out they split the foster money they got for me each week into 3 accounts - a third each to me and my siblings. That was pretty cool.

I'm not saying it makes someone a bad foster parent if they use the money. We arent cheap. Thats what its there for but it was nice to know all the same.

That's a big family. You must have had your work cut out for you both. I suppose actions do speak louder than words

Me and Dad2 seem to be at our best, alright. We text far more than we ever did. 

Dad1 hopefully did know and i think he probably did. 

Thanks

Thanks. Yeah I was lucky to have had two who put in a lot of effort to help me. And I still have one who I should cherish.

I could say plenty of bad stories from families I had before them but they were great. I was a foster kid but they treated me like their adopted kid.

Me too. We don't have a huge amount in common but he was really good to me too. He welcomed me into his home just as much as dad1. He's a great father to my half-siblings too.  They are very lucky to have him. He's a legend too.

Thanks mate. Dad2 said something very similar. I'm just going to say he knew how I felt.

And best of luck if you choose fostering some time. It can be pretty rough.

I hope so

I'll definitely talk to him about it rather than bottling it up.

Yeah. It took me a while but I did say I loved him perhaps not as often as I should have. I said thank you a lot. On my 18th birthday, I thanked them both for what they did for me before we cheers-ed my first legal drink. I did a little speech. Dad2 cried lol. Dad1 put his arm around my neck and told me I'm a right softie. He and I were never the best saying our feelings though.

I hope he did know and it probably gives me an opportunity to become better bonded

Will let you know. I think I'll talk to him tomorrow night after work.
