[QUOTE="Stella Johnson, post: 30390, member: 9"] Vickie, In your current health state I don't think it's a good idea to get back into fostering. I think your husband is already feeling overwhelmed. It is too hard on you with your back problems too. I think it would be better for your marriage too if you didn't bring any new people into the situation. Take time to heal your marriage and rest up to help your back. Aly needs so much extra attention so does my difficult child. She seems to have a harder time keeping herself together with fosters around as well. She needs so much and always will. Plus adding intermittent foster kids will cause temporary chaos anytime you add to the family schedule. I love babies too and would love to foster someday but it isn't fair to your family or the foster child if you are on bed rest and cant give them your attention and love. Grandkids are the best. You can play and spoil them and then send them home. If you aren't feeling well, you don't have to take care of them. This is just my opinion. I'm not trying to hurt you or anything like that... just giving you my perspective. Sending big (((hugs))) Steph [/QUOTE]
