One of the questions we hear most from families is how to help their biological children and a new foster sibling connect.
There's no single formula, since every child and every family is different. But a few things tend to help: preparing your children ahead of time, letting the bond build slowly, and making space for everyone's feelings, biological and foster children alike.
Save this for when you need a reminder, or share it with a family who's just getting started.
If you're a foster parent, what has helped your children bond as a family? We'd love to hear in the comments.
