Hi Ladies,

Kind of thinking about foster care. We have had a total of 9 transfers with IVF, with no baby at the end. We were to have our 10th today but the embryo did not make in thru the freezing/thawing stages. I am heartbroken - but have pondered over the years about Fostering should IVF not work for us. All we really want is to be a family - we would love to share our lives with a little one - we are older as you can see so don't even know if we would be allowed an infant? Or would we be classified to old? My husband has had back surgery, very successful and has not had a problem carrying on with his job floor/wall tiler - however would they knock us back on the medical for him having had back surgery in the past ? What are the steps for fostering? How long does it take - we would love to adopt but we have been told that takes years - is the waiting list for foster carers long ? Does anyone have any information that they can share? OR does anyone have any advice? Would love to know more.
