This article from the Times of Malta features the story of two foster parents in Malta. One foster parent, Patricia Graham, has been fostering children for seven years. She feels foster parents are sometimes accused of wanting to keep the children they care for away from their birth families. “I am delighted when they are returned to their natural parents,” she says. “Yes, we are happy to see them being returned, because our job is temporary fostering. We did not go into fostering for permanency. However, I will stand up for the well-being of the children who have been in my care for six years, and who have never been guaranteed any stability.”
