Description: Will I live with my parents again? Will I stay with my foster parents forever? For children in foster care, the answer to many questions is often maybe. Maybe Days addresses the questions, feelings, and concerns these children most often face. Honest and reassuring, it also provides basic information that children want and need to know, including the roles of various people in the foster care system and whom to ask for help. An extensive afterword for adults caring for foster children describes the child's experience, underscores the importance of open communication, and outlines a variety of ways to help children adjust to the maybe days | ??and to thrive. From the Note to Foster Parents and Other Adults: The enormity of adjustment that children in foster care are asked to make is hard to over-state. Children in foster care may experience and express a range of feelings, many of which may emerge during the reading of this book. Multiple feelings may occur at the same time and may include: Relief and a sense of safety Happiness and a sense of enjoyment Sadness Anger Fear or worry Confusion Guilt Shame Loneliness Sense of loss ● Some children respond well to verbal discussion about their feelings. Keep in mind that asking questions and encouraging activities can be useful for some children, but it is not always necessary and is never a substitute for simply listening.

Review: Apart from the slightly irritating Americanisms - "mom" etc. (isn't anyone this side of the Atlantic interested in writing books for fostered children? Or is it that British publishers aren't interested?), this is an excellent book. The 4 year old we are fostering went back to it several times, and we often use the term "maybe day" when she asks what is happening today - ie, will there be contact? It is not specific to one reason why a child might be in foster care, and stresses that all the people involved care about what is best for the child, but that her job is to just get on with being a child. I've recommended it to our social worker, and the department has now been bought 3 copies. Very helpful.
