After talking directly with Julia, it was discovered how much she loves her foster parents but she didn’t love her daycare. During a meeting with the foster family Julia’s journey over the previous 7 months was discussed. Her foster parents soon realized it was her first time in foster care – not knowing when or if she will return home. She found out her ‘dad’ isn’t her biological dad and then met her real father – who seemed like a stranger. These uncertainties and stressors helped her foster parents understand the ‘why’ behind Julia’s behaviors. They agreed to not disrupt her placement as it would only create further trauma.
