Mutrix Farmers Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Congratulations! It takes a very special person to open up their home to a complete stranger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Many congratulations! I do admire foster-parents greatly. It takes a great deal of love to care for a child and then (usually) have to let them go. My aunt has fostered for many years and adopted one of her foster children. Well done you! Good luck with the rest of the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I echo what others have said, well done you, my husband and I have considered this actually, as our youngest is now 10 and oldest 12 and we feel them able to cope with what it would entail for them, We are just in the process of reading through all the info.

Yorkshire Pudding Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Congratulations and best of luck with the courses. One of my friends started fostering at Christmas and is loving it. I work with a lot of fostered children and can honestly say that good foster carers are worth their weight in gold - stability, consistency and love make such a huge difference to the children they look after.
