my MiL is a foster carer, she is through AngliCare.

Last Sunday she had a 3 day old baby boy delivered into her care. She also has an 11 month old baby girl at the moment. I get to see the two kiddlets on Monday as they are driving down to visit us. At the most she has had 5 foster kids ranging from 1 year old to 16 years old.

One of my girlfriends is also a foster mum, she is a single mother with one of her own and 3 siblings in her care.

I'll ask her details of how she went about becoming a foster mother & will let you know.
