Should Birth Parents Be Involved with Foster Children? - Life123:
This article suggest's the foster parent's contact the biological parent's. Assure birth parents that you are not trying to replace them and you will not harm their child. It's too bad CPS/DCYF discourages foster parents from even speaking to the bio parent's. CPS/DCYF tell's the foster's to steer clear, because for some strange reason the bio parent's are angry. Hmm, I wonder why!
When a child is taken from his family and placed in foster care, it is a difficult time for the child, the birth parents and the foster family.
Two out of three children who enter foster care because of a harmful family situation are reunited with their birth parents within two years, studies show. Regular visits between a foster child and his birth parents help to shorten the time of foster care and reunite children and parents more smoothly. By the same token, denying contact between a foster child and his birth parents has a negative impact on the child.
