ZERO notice for moves between foster homes. Lady shows up, it's time to go. They will also hide foster family contact information from the kids, so you can't give family members a way to contact. Phones are off limits, no stamps or letter writing materials. If you want to color, a foster sibling might share their materials. If your family doesn't provide you puzzles, crafting supplies, games, holiday stuff - you're fucked.
Your entire classroom is informed that you're a foster kid, that they need to be 'nice' - bet you can guess how that works out.
I personally had an older (female) sibling ordered to supervise my every bath, to make sure I was cleaning myself 'properly'.
Foster care is a humiliating, horrifying experience. The idea of adding a bizarre parental structure to that is utterly cruel. Foster kids are terrorized in school for being unwanted scum - this type of "progressive" bullshit is literally making foster kids lives harder.
The statistical outcomes for kids who wind up in state care are abysmal. Just abort unwanted pregnancies and spare everyone the nightmare.
