I really believe in what you are saying. I had my granddaughter on a radiances from the time she was almost 6mths.
Thing went wrong and my granddaughter ended up in care was to be adopted but lucky for her it didn’t happen.
She was all most 6 at this time.
But when I used to dress up to go to court she would ask me where am I going I all ways told her to see the special lady ie jurge I never told who she was apart from the special lady.
When she know she had to go to care she said to me Nan I am coming to see the special lady I need to talk to her and tell her I am not going to live with anyone but you nana,
And she was not given that chance because I do think that things would off been better for her if she could off had that chance.
