It’s Like a Bereavement

Synopsis

Interviews with natural parents of children in long-term foster homes, intended to convey the parent’s feelings, give some idea of the variety of personalities and lifestyles of parents who have their children fostered, and demonstrate that because these parents cannot care for their children, it does not mean that they do not care about them.
