This book details the challenging experiences of children who are relocated from their homes due to various circumstances. These circumstances often result in significant emotional and psychological distress, which can be further compounded by the lack of support and resources available to these children and their caregivers. It is crucial to recognize the unique challenges faced by these children and the immense responsibility placed on those tasked with their care. The individuals entrusted with the responsibility of raising these children must do so with unwavering dedication, compassion, and accountability. It is essential for temporary parents to empathize with the children in their care, as the process of raising them is lengthy and challenging. During this period, children may reside in two, three, or four di erent homes. When parents seek to regain custody, they have the right to visitation, which requires the children to adapt to the customs of each home. Additionally, the challenges of each child's education must be considered, making this a complex and emotionally demanding process. Temporary parents must perform their duties with excellence to ensure the children's well-being. It is challenging to convey to them that it is not as important for the parents to su er as it is for the children. It is essential to communicate this to the relevant parties within the system, as well as to the foster parents, that these children are not objects. They are human beings who require the voice of the people, and above all of the parents, to support them and guide them towards a successful life when they become adults.
