Indeed,  foster moms should be able to bf their foster kids without even 
telling anyone  because it is a normal part of child care, but we all   know 
that  life is not that simple.

I wonder are there other attachment but not specifcally-breastfeeding  
behaviors that a fostered child is not "allowed" to be part of as well: are moms 
 told do not put the baby/child skin-to-skin, or perhaps they should only 
be  bottlefed while in a plastic seat, so they don't get body contact that 
they  might miss if the situation changes? Perhaps thinking of it this way 
might open  the door a tiny bit to advocate for the most loving/most attachment 
a  foster parent can provide, no matter how long it lasts?
 
Peace,
