The following is a note we wrote our Foster Daughter Evie*, upon her leaving our home after a 2-week emergency placement. She and her sister Iliana, were leaving our home and heading to what we hoped was a long term placement, until their family were ready for them to return, or their plan was changed to adoption.
It was a short stay, but it was very impactful on us, and hopefully her and her sister as well.
Dear Evie,
Thank you for staying with us for the past two weeks, we really enjoyed getting to know you! You are an amazing young lady, and a great big sister to Iliana. You are very talented and very funny, and we loved listening to you play music on the xylophone. Thank you for all of your help around the house, while you stayed with us, and being a good big sister to Ava* too. I hope you had fun with us, and enjoyed staying here as much as we enjoyed having you in our homse. If you ever need anything, even just to talk, you can absolutely contact us.
w/ Love, Aaron and Jewell
