I know someone who fosters for a living, she specialises in babies taken from their parents at birth.
She had one baby girl who was the 5th child taken away from the mother, each baby had a different father, all of whom were bad lots This baby's father was a known paedophile, so there was no unsupervised contact allowed and at 12 months old she had her final visit and was taken for adoption. Why, oh why, did that woman keep on having babies? The heartbreak of having them all taken away must be unbearable
They should be sterilised but unfortunately its against their human rights but what about the rights of the children.

I always think it's so cruel that they get moved from foster parents who they may have lived with and bonded with for a very long time. You just feel like - why can't she stay there?

Don't know what the answer is though
Those foster parents didn't want to keep the children anymore, they want to stay as short-term fosterers and take more children when Lauren and Liam have moved on. It must be really tough for them too
I doubt they would feel obligated to take any more. Didn't they only take the new baby because the 2 brothers already knew about her? Now they don't know about any more.
Do the foster carers ever see the children again after they're adopted? Seems so sad that they might not after looking after them for so long.
Probably for the best, to make that break/leap to a permanent home, with parents who are there for life.
Probably don't want to have thoughts of a 'backup' parents lurking in their minds.

That's not what the chap said.
How would he explain that, they'd said no to taking on their sister years down the line.

Not always the case. Friend fostered baby up until adoptive parents were chosen and was then involved in 'transition'. She still sees the family a few years on as an aunty figure. Guess its up to adoptive parents if they feel comfortable with the foster mum and she still wants to be a part of the child's life.

It's a pity they can't persuade the women to have long term contraception !
That's just appalling
She's far too old for her years, bless her

Ive minuted fostering panels and prospective foster carers do go through quite a grilling so adoption must be worse.
It sounds awful, but necessary I suppose.
I know I really hope they dont have anymore kids.
Well Lauren did the swerve to him first.

Oh cheery adoption tale from Radio 4's Listening project, only 4 minutes long.
