I haven't told parents at the interview, but I definitely have had to tell them after a week or so, and it has always been hard. I agree that telling them up front that you are looking for a child who will fit in well with the children you currently have in care lets them know that if it is not a good fit, they will need to find care elsewhere. I like the way you worded that, so I'm keeping that in my holster for next time it comes up.
