A sense of entitlement is spot on. No empathy for the bio parents. We are better than you.
Yes great post. Fostering is complex and messy thats for sure, not a substitute for having your own biological children or adopting. Dealing with people you normally wouldn't is part of the package. As is supporting the children to know their identity to grow up into healthy adults, which means supporting the bio relationship and probably having to grit your teeth sometimes, all most likely covered in foster care training.
Interesting reading.
