We've been asked if we would like to permanently foster a 2 year old, who has been in care since she was 6 months. Her grandmother has been looking for a JW couple to raise her, as she can't stay where she is permanently. I have SO many questions though, and I'm hoping someone here can help!
*Has anyone been nominated by family to be the carer? Does the process differ from becoming a general carer?
*Does anyone foster an Aboriginal child when they're not Aboriginal? What cultural training did you do before becoming the carer? How do you incorporate their culture into your everyday life?
*We've got a bedroom that can be made ready for her, but at 2, will she prefer to be in a room with us, but obviously not in the bed? I'm thinking a room by herself will be scary in a new house.
Please unleash upon me your wisdom, I'm both ecstatic and trying not to get my hopes up. I understand that this is going to be a difficult process, but I want to be as prepared as possible.
