Thanks Kat
Actually, you may be able to help. I know your answer will probably be to contact the QLD team and have a chat (I have contacted, am waiting for someone to get back to us ) but I'll ask anyway.
I think our biggest concern is having big changes often, because of course having a new child come into your home is huge, and then having to say goodbye and then welcome another child. We're not sure that short-term care is somethig we are ready for with Jazz being not-quite 2. Is long-term care available, or do they prefer you to start out with short-term and then later on decide to do long-term? I know short term can be up to 2 years but can be quite short also. I'm sure this is a common concern though? We would love to open our home to another child soon - late this year or early next year depending on the approval and training etc. Will they tell us to wait until we feel Jazz is able to understand short-term care arrangements, or will they be ok with us wanting to have a long-term care arrangement?

Anyone else able to help?
