Foster Childs Long Term Future
8 Answers
I have a little girl of ten i am short term fostering (around 4 months). I have had her for a few weeks. The mothers partner has caused some trauma to the little girl. and mum now has supervised contact once a week in a contact centre, as she refuses to leave abusive partner. Her biological dad will be her long term carer but they are sorting out residency order next week. It will be a slow change over as she has become attached to me. However long term i cannot have her as i dont have the room. I am a family friend and just stepped into help. I want to try and make the transition for her to live with dad as smooth as possible. He will be having her weekends, until she goes to live for good at her dads. Her dad is a good role model but works long hours. His partner also works full time. Im trying to be upbeat and positive but she keeps crying saying she wants to stay with me. Any ideas on how to deal with this . Thanks everyone.

Sparkles62 Her dad has suggested she stay over at my house for the odd overnight visit which i am happy with. The little girl is saying if she goes to her dads she will run away. The change of surroundings and routine scares her i think. DaisyNonna thanks for the good wishes.
i think that the child is more scared of the fact that she will be with a male, even tho he is her dad than anything else. give her time to adjust and bond with her dad, she will see that not all males are alike. also it is natural for anyone to be scared of the unknown, she will adjust but still be there to have her on weekends or whenever
