Talk to me about Fostering in Australia (WA)...

[MrsBexie]

I have no idea but LS that's an awesome idea!!!!!

Foster kids need stable and loving homes!

We had *just* filled out the forms and were literally abot to submit them the week I found out I was pregnant with P.

Everyone involved was really helpful and friendly. The amount of paperwork, tests, interviews and etc are insane LOL...but all the staff that I experienced were really nice and good at making the process as streamlined as possible.

You'll need a space in your house (a room, bed etc etc) set up and suitable for another child before they come over for the interviews and etc, as having space in the house and family is obviously an important thing for the agency.

We didn't have the space for 2 in the house I was in when I got preg with P so didnt go any further in the application process and now don't have room for 3, but would def start the process again if we were in a bigger place.

Thanks for the info! We'd love to foster, and intend to one day, depending on if we are blessed with more kids ourselves!
