  • After raising three kids of their own, Susanne and her husband Moritz care for seven foster children. There's never a dull moment in their household. Though, after 15 years, their first foster children are ready to leave the nest.
    18-year-old Kai is starting his training to become a police officer, while 16-year-old Sandra will move into a home for people with cognitive disabilities. Sandra, in particular, is finding it hard to leave. Like her fellow foster children, she has grown very attached to Susanne, whom she calls Mama. Susanne, too, is finding it's not easy to let go. One foster child after another is leaving home, while her own kids have already left. Some even have families of their own. They still all get together on weekends, but how long will that last? A report by Almut Maria Röhrl.

    I was raised in a foster family, but nothing like that, mine was during the great depression and a lot of unhappyness in the family and around me!

    That’s adorable. Already, the foster children’s own babies are recognizing the caretaker as grandmother.

    I was a foster kid. from age 7-18. ( In the USA )
    It was HELL. Was never allowed to do anything. Not allowed to do any kind of extra school activities. All the money my father left me via SSI was stolen by the foster company.
    Every Christmas and birthday was eventless. Foster parents didnt want to spend their money on you, only their kids. Parents just collected whatever tiny paycheck they got and didnt spend anything on you. If you didnt "behave" and acted like a normal kid or teen they would just load you up with drugs/meds because the doctors had deals to push it out. No field trips at school, no spending the night at friends houses. Nothing. Just stay inside or in the yard.
    At 18? Youre just kicked out. No help or funding from the state.

      U commented years ago but I just wanted to say im sorry for what you had to go thru.
      We need better foster care systems in europe aswell but its nice to see that atleast some kids can have a good childhood cause everyone deserves it, including you.
      Hope your life turned around and your doing better

    The practice of fostering is different in the city; l live in. It is sad to say the least.
