Does anyone know of a good resource on foster parenting, especially preparing for the child's return home?

If you are fostering a child, usually you are doing this through a social services entity (governmental or outsourced non profit). They have social workers that can counsel you on the separation and the ';loss'; of this child. They're usually really good about providing training to not only address issues relating to the child you're fostering, but also about things that you deal with as the foster parent. This is a really tough situation; in your mind you know that the placement is temporary yet you grow attached. If you have health insurance, it's a good idea to check with the insurance company if visits to psychologists are covered. Lastly and importantly, surround yourself with supportive family and friends. And accept the fact that saying goodbye is part of what you signed up for; congratulate yourself for being there to make a difference to that child's life, and look forward to the next child you'll be helping.
