Difficult Farewells

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

I just wrote about how difficult our very first “good bye” was, and I thought I should talk a little bit more about when we have to see a child leave our home.
I’ve talked about foster care with a lot of people over the years; from teachers to classmates to family friends, the most common reaction when someone hears about what my family does is: “Isn’t it hard to say good bye?” Of course it’s hard! Have you ever had to say good bye to someone who you loved more than anything, knowing that you would never see them again? Every time I have said good bye to a sibling I have been very upset, no matter how long they lived with us.

The truth of the matter is, if you’re looking into becoming a foster family, you’re going to have your hearts broken. It’s going to happen multiple times. But that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying the love and the children while they’re in your home, and you’ll have memories to keep you feeling great for the rest of your lives. The pros of doing foster care, like helping children in need and having a wonderful family, definitely outweigh the cons, namely being heartbroken when they leave. Look into becoming a foster family, and you’ll be absolutely glad you did.

Questions on how to get started? Send me a message or do a search online. I hope to start compiling a list of great resources all over the country to post here.

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

Hi Taylor!

I found your blog while researching what it's like to be a foster parent. My husband and I have been lightly considering it for awhile. We've just discussed taking the first official step...an information session.

Anyhow, enough about me. I found your blog through a link from some other site that I don't remember. It linked to a "Foster Parent Friday" post. I read that, and was immediately hooked. So, I began at the beginning. I'm so excited to see that you are still posting as of May 2017! I am committed to reading in sequence, and I am already captivated by your story. I'm on the edge of my seat about how the next 3 years turns out! So far in my reading, you haven't had comments, and I want to let you know how much I love your blog! I really hope that by the time I've caught up, you have a gazillion comments and followers. I don't really do social media, though I might start just to link to your blog.

Wow, thank you so much for the comment! That is so sweet of you! I'm sorry that I've been working all week and haven't had a chance to respond, but I see that you've commented on other posts as well.. I can't wait to read everything! I hope you're enjoying the blog!

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
