A prior DCB who is now 13 years called recently asking if we would take his baby sister when she is born. His father remarried and is having a girl. He said he wants her with us because he remembers having a lot of fun and learned a lot with us and he wants same for his sister. He found our # on google.
We've had families drop in from time to time with their child to thank us for the care we provided to their little one. And occasionally, I would email a family from long ago inquiring about their child. They are always happy to hear from us, send pictures etc.
Some kids and families do remember but even if they don't, like it was already said here, the many foundational things they learn while in our care stays with them and that is very satisfying.
