Just back from a weekend away when DH and I were taking our respite foster ''daughter'' to university. She''s had such a traumatic life with many moves and very, very wobbly attachment. We have been the only consistent carers in her life and had the great privilege of going with her (we''re in N ireland and university not far from London), helping her settle, and then the sad goodbyes. I''m so proud she''s made it this far, although it will take a miracle for her to stay there and cope. Her anxiety was at an all time high. But she''s there and she''s doing her absolute best to make it work. Can''t believe after 9 years of seeing her every month we won''t see her until Christmas.Just wanted to share....
