When a foster child’s parent dies

September 16, 2008 by Megan · 6 Comments 

Dayle and Richard with their Mum, the last time they saw her in 1997When my foster children’s mother dies, what can I do but be with them. I will be away from home for the next few days as I spend time with my two ex foster children. Their mother was found deceased in a a park just recently. We are all flying to the city where she lived, to view the body, say goodbye and to make funeral arrangements.

Dayle and Richard, I am very sorry that this has happened. Although I am not your Mum and will never be able to replace her, you know that I will love you for ever.

This was Dayle’s last public tribute to her Mum:

    Oh Megan – how hard for her children and those who loved her and them.

    I just read the article you linked to. I am so glad that your foster daughter has had such strong positive people in her life to help her get through the tough times she now faces.
