Sending schoolwork to the biological parent can help him or her feel a part of what their child is doing.
Being a foster parent often means playing nice with the people who have harmed or neglected the children in your care. Biological parents, their issue and their demands can often be the hardest part of being a foster parent. However, forging a constructive relationship, especially when the goal is reunification, can be beneficial for everyone.
