I only just noticed this part of the forum..welcome to the forum btw
DH and I have just become foster carers this year after going through the process that started last year. The main thing that motivated us was having the love and room to open up our home to a little one that needed it. We have a gorgeous little baby with us currently and hope to have another one if or when we are asked.
Hi princesslollypoplepink,
How old is your baby? Is this your first placement? I guess it differs from state to state but I am registered for up to 3 children aged from birth to 18yrs. My youngest so far was 5 months and the oldest was 14 yrs.
How do your friends and family react to you fostering?
Great to have someone to chat with.
Hi, he's our first and is only 13 weeks old. He's a gorgeous little tot too, I swear everywhere we go he charms the pants off everyone, lol. We are able to have ones aged from 0 - 3.
So far I have found most people to react in a positive and supportive way, they have helped us out with things too which is nice.
I'm looking forward to foster care week in September to meet other carers. Last week I ran into a lady that was in our training course and she said that so far we are the only ones with a placement. They are still waiting!
Do you go to the training courses? so far I have only been able to get to one on "legal issues"
