So it sounds like the girls will be going back to their mom, most likely before Christmas. The judge OKd the twins and the next oldest to return home, since they aren't in a relative placement like the other six kids, and the mom has a place to live now. I hope this is for the best for them, and I'm happy they'll be with their family.
I feel like I should be a lot more sad than I am, but I've never felt a strong bond with the girls, and I have always felt badly about that.
I hope this is best for the girls too. Maybe you feel ok with this because it's the right thing.
Do you think B will be ok with this?
Part of it is that I think it's a good thing for them. The bigger part is that I never really bonded with them, so it's easier to let them go.
B I think will be sad and confused for a little while. I don't anticipate our home being empty for long after the girls leave, but we will see what happens. My husband is also going to be very sad, he really loves the girls and has bonded well with them.
It is hard to say goodbye but hopefully this is for the best for the girls. How long were they with you? Do you think you will stay in touch with their bio family after they go home?

They've been with us since Sept 19. We will try to stay in touch a bit, if it is helpful to the girls and their mom.

I'm glad for the bio mom that she's able to reunite with some of her kids. And hopeful for the girls that this is the best for them.
I think it's okay to not feel that bond, it's possible you were just protecting yourself knowing that they might go back home. Part of fostering is being able to hope for and rejoice in their reunification
