Is there anyone I can talk to privately about fostering?

[samy23]

I'm seriously considering fostering a child and would like someone's thoughts who has done it before, is there anyone willing to listen and advise me?

You're welcome to send me a PM and I'll help if I can.

me too. we have fostered and adopted a baby, and foster several teenagers and one four year old.

I have 2.5 years experience with the system, though it was only one child.  But during that time, I became very acquainted with the process.  I'd be happy to answer any questions if I can help.  Good luck; this is a big decision!

I'm not on here as much as I'd like but you can PM me as well.

We have a group of 4 siblings that might be an adoptive placement. We're definately learning a ton and have seen quite a bit of the system with this group. We had an infant placement before this.

There are also several threads in here on the subject of fostering-- it's ups and downs, if you poke around a bit. If you can't find any, let me know and I'll look and direct you to some.
