What happens the day that my child comes home?
Posted: Thu May 11, 2017 11:46 pm
So I've searched the forum and I think this is the best place to post this. I'm sorry if it's not!!
My sons been in foster care since October 14th on a S.20, and today it was decided that June 14th will be the day that he is returned to my full care.
How does this usually go down? Will I come into contact with the foster carers this day? Will a member of the fostering team just drop him off with all of his stuff?
Will it be like contact where he's just handed to me, or will someone be staying with me for a few hours whilst I process what's going on?
Am I entitled to ask for my family support worker to be the one to drop him off, and spend some time with me whilst my emotions settle?
Thanks!
