I have an acquaintance who is caring for my friend's daughter. He passed away a couple of months ago and there was no family member she knew well enough to be placed with them.
I found out that she will be leaving this acquaintance's home soon and I want to express my sympathy and gratitude to the foster parents for caring for her and that she's now leaving (they are hoping for an adoptive placement).
A couple of questions: is it "out of line" for me to do anything? And what should or can I do to let her (foster mom) know how I feel?
TIA.

It's never wrong to say thank you.

A hand written note would be good. And if you wanted to do more a book, gift certificate or fruit basket would be nice.

Where is the little girl going? How long was she in this home? How old is the girl?

She's 10 and she's going to her dad's mom.
She was with them for 2 months. She'd never met the grandma before her father passed away.

When our kids' birth mom is doing well she says "Thank you" to me and it means a lot.

Any gratitude without going overboard would be appreciated.
