Re: Fostering
My friend fosters two teenage sisters. She has had them for about 6 years now and has transformed them and their lives. They are a credit to her as they came from a very large, dysfunctional family. 7 went into foster care and the baby was adopted.Re: Fostering
It's a phenomenal life-changing experience for everyone involved, Doc! My children are adopted and I went through fostering (including a six-week training program). Like all parenting - which is what it truly is - there are ups and downs and a huge committment, but what you give and get back in return is immeasurable. You would be giving a child or children some stability, security, and peace that they probably haven't known in years, if at all, and giving them the priceless gift of a normal future. Do you have any questions?Re: Fostering
I did foster for a short time many years ago.I found it alright except the childs Mother had acess to sse him when she wished and I wasnt too happy to have her visit , he was only a baby and there was no where for her to take him, so I feelt obliged to have her sit in my house and offer her tea. Another time I cared for a friends 1 year old son while she was in Hospital for a few weeksRe: Fostering
I've been family fostering for years they became like my children its gone on so long. The change you can make in a young life is profound and makes any hiccoughs well worth it.
