Foster Care Adoption Poem Passage

Passage is a poem by foster/adoptive parent, Ron Schutt. It speaks about the trauma of moving children from home to home and how the children have to work to believe that they can now trust a new set of parents.

As foster parents, how can we help children transition from our home to their next stop, whether that be to another foster home, an adoptive home, or to birth family? How can we help our own families heal and move on after a move? Have moves been difficult for your children?

I'm sure that when our foster son moves on it will impact my daughter. The last time a child moved she was only 2 and she struggled with it more than I thought she would being she was so young. Now that she's 10, I know she will have a reaction.
