The thing with fostering is that you get a family for ‘free’ and I do not mean the kids. I mean the parents and they can be a source for conflict. You do not get to choose the kid without inflicting damage to them.
And just when you think everything is settled they will go away for a weekend visit and fight more than before with you, because it is safe to do. Nice but sucky at the same time.

🫣 did not see that coming. Oliver is now firmly in the enemy territory and has shown he is untrustworthy (why would you not use her preferred nickname) and Luc is still an unknown element.
Fascinating. Done very well.

I am curious to see how this plays out but because I actually do have a lot of knowledge about foster care systems (although in a different country) I do not know if I will enjoy this as much as other books by this author.
At least Oliver seems somewhat realistic about the situation

All to say that fostering is not as easy as people say, just like teaching, most people have an opinion about it but rarely do they know what is waiting for them.
And because budget cuts all over the world seem to hit the care system the hardest, there is never enough money to get the help a foster family truly needs.

Ok this is interesting. People who want to foster mostly fall into two categories: want children but cannot get them any other way or want ‘to do some good into the world’.
Both tend to be a bit delusional (as in too optimistic) and it is always interesting to see how their views change.

I can see the resemblance between Luc and me, which kind of sucks because at times he is being an utter shithead…
Dude. It is a puppy not a bomb to avoid.

Ugh I am on Luc's side here! Bridget could just have said no? Why is everything his fault?
