I remember my first reunification. I was not prepared for the "goodbye" moment. I'm sure whatever I said wasn't exactly what I hoped it would be.After some experience, I learned to say my "goodbyes" the day before. Then, when it's time to say goodbye on the day of reunification, I can more clearly support the child and their parent. Offering choice, comfort, care, support, and focus on the reunion. I also find I am not as emotional, but I've gotten pretty good at compartmentalizing - I know ever

#Reunification is the point of foster care - but it’s not always safe & sustainable & the children are who suffer when it fails. “Our son Aiden was in our care for ten months & then was reunified with his biological family. Two months later he & his baby brother were brought back into care, but instead of coming back to us they were separated & hidden away. After five long months & a lengthy court battle, our boy was back home. Just as quickly as he left he was back - it felt like we were seeing

Reunification often happens right before the holidays so kids can be with their parents during the season. With all the hope and joy that reunification brings, it can also bring other complex, hard emotions.
