Former foster parent here. A little concerned it took 3 rears; standard is one year. But in the end, reunification is the goal. If mom’s rights were never terminated and is now a safe place, then kid needs to go with mom.

as a former foster kid.... send that baby home to her mother and take away their foster license. encourageing the baby to call them mom and dad is WILD

If the mom showed up for every visit then the child should know her as mom.

3 years! You have to consider that the best thing for the CHILD would be to stay put. Possibly give mom shared custody.

Foster parents should never block reunification no matter how hard it is to let go.

She been with the Fparents for 3 yrs. She is bonded to the Foster parents. She needs to stay with them. Mom has the rest of her daughter’s life to be a mother. She needs to do what’s right for her child.

As a foster parent, if Mom is safe, sober and stable, that baby should be going home immediately. When we start the process of becoming foster parents we are told over and over that the goal is reunification whenever it's safe to do so. Does it hurt when a child you've loved and cared for for years leaves? Yep, hurts like hell. Will the child be sad and confused? Yes, just like they were sad and confused when they were removed. But the best long term outcome happens when reunified with birth parents. This is a big part of why I work so hard to build good relationships with the parents so that when the kids go home I can still provide support and help with child care and still see the kids so they don't think I abandoned them.

The point of foster care is always reunification and the foster family is in the wrong.

It’s difficult and not black and white. Reunification is the goal but the agency dropped the ball on dragging it out. Kids should not be in limbo for 3 years. It would be traumatic for the kid to go back with bio mom. They need to be setting up resources and helping with the transition

Those people absolutely should not be allowed to foster ever again. What awful people.

Fostering is temporary! If they can’t accept that then they shouldn’t be allowed to foster children!

They should lose there foster license. The job of foster parents is facilitating reunification with her mom

Sir Reginald the Great :
The point of foster care is to return the kids to the parents, this is wrong. I was adopted at 11 in foster care since 3. If mom is doing the right things, this should be the goal.

foster care has never been about reunification. if it was we would just give the money to the parent so they can take care of their own kid instead of someone else

Mom has done what she was supposed to do. as hard as it is the foster parents should be supporting her.

I can see doing an adjustment period where visits become longer at least for a short bit so the child can adjust but they should not be trying to stop it from happening that mom did what she had to do she could have her daughter back

Ryan Leigh Dostie 🆘🇺🇸 :
Foster parents are probably doing what they think is best and love her very much. It’s possible they even have more money and opportunities. But in the end, that’s her mother, who is fighting hard to be a good parent and do right by her child. The child belongs with her mom

Absolutely not. Three years is too long and that’s cruel to take her away for her family that she has now.
