When we did respite for our current placement, it was for 4 days. The FM told us she'd be moving and eventually the fd would have to find a new home. This was not the reason for respite, she needed it for buisness. By the time respite was over, hubby and i knew she was meant to be with us. About 4 weeks later(and only doing respite that one time) she moved in with us. The old FM told us that if she had bonding issues or cried for her she would talk to her, or take her on an outing for the day. She technically doesn't move until July
The CW (not mine, the other fm) wanted us to do a long transition, but I and the FM were confident that a quick trans would be better b/c it would be less confusing. That and the fact that she loves it here and has never asked to go back to her 'home' or cried for her FM. This kid is super resiliant and is probably the easiest transition I've ever seen or heard of. However, the FM was there in case we needed support and the cw originally wanted a longer trans, so it's crazy that you weren't met with the same attitude!

Our Children are older now,(6-16) and hubby and I are wiser and have a little more patience.
Starting off with respite, and we've had too many to add in my profile. Taking a placement sometime next fall.
