Comments on: Angel’s Access Arrangements http://reflectionsonfostercare.com/2008/06/02/angels-access-arrangements/ An Australian mum's thoughts on family and foster care Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:01:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jo http://reflectionsonfostercare.com/2008/06/02/angels-access-arrangements/comment-page-1/#comment-20 Jo Sun, 15 Jun 2008 01:19:11 +0000 http://janine.slingers.org/?p=16#comment-20 Hi Janine, Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my post. Your wisdom is greatly appreciated! My partner and I decided on littles because we felt we were more comfortable looking after them: I personally come from a background of caring for children of that age group: so it made sense. It made even more sense because like you, I plan to be a stay-at-home foster mum and drop back my uni to part time external. I feel for you as you go through this really trying time: I know that at some stage in the future (providing we get that final "YES") we will be going through a similar thing. I would also like to thank you for the advise on attachment/bonding. I plan to implement similar measures when it comes to my future foster kids...depending on the child of course! Jo Hi Janine,

Selfishly, I'm going to miss this sweet baby girl! I hope Angel gets the transition time that he needs.
