Thinking about a Foster Kid's Perspective

I've been so focused on getting our home and ourselves ready to be a foster family that I haven't stopped to think about what our foster child(ren) (FC) will be experiencing when they come to us.  Now that things are in more or less in place and we are in a waiting period, it struck me that my FC will be going through all sorts of changes and adjustments as well.

Can you imagine being pulled by the only home that you've known?  With the only parents you've known?  Even if you've been neglected and/or abused, it's still your only reality.

And now, you're being dropped off at a total stranger's house and everything is different - the smells, the toys, the clothes, the food.  Unfamiliar.  You're told you will be safe, but how can you know?  How can you trust that you'll have enough to eat?  A safe place to sleep?  Clothes to wear?  That no one will hurt you?

I would be terrified.

I imagine that I would cry a lot.
I imagine that I would be too scared to eat.  Or talk.  Or really do anything.
 I imagine that I would flinch if someone tried to hug me.
I would feel like it's my fault that I couldn't live at home anymore.
I would feel like I'm a bad kid.
I am sure that I would act out and test boundaries to see if I would get sent away again.
I imagine I would be afraid to unpack, get comfortable, or open myself up at all for fear of being pushed away.

I'm assuming that the first week will be an adjustment period.  I am honestly planning on cancelling the majority of my lessons during that first week so I can focus on my family.  I've been looking into different ways to help your FC communicate (i.e. "talk to the stars" or "talk to the stuffed animal," drawing pictures).  I've been making mental lists of activities we can all do together as a family (park, zoo, board games, cooking/baking, walks, coloring, reading) that are inclusive and non-threatening.  I have a couple books on order from Amazon about different parenting methods for various behaviors.  I've been praying constantly for strength, empathy, understanding, love and kindness for myself and my FC.   But, when the time comes, I don't want to get so consumed by all the changes and activities and things that I forget to take time to listen and understand how my FC feels.

How do you help to heal the hurt? 
How can I help my FC know that s/he is truly loved and not alone or worthless?
How do I build a relationship of trust and love?
