[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 591769, member: 84"] Yeah. I know. Which is why I've been thinking long and hard on it. I also happen to know though that many of these children require constant care. Which is why they are so hard to place. So if I'm giving constant care, how in the world am I supposed to work to have an income outside of fostering? That is the part I can't figure out. Many of these kids are severely disabled. I don't mind working. I'd do handsprings down the block if someone would just call me for an interview........LOL Our cps here isn't so hot either, although they don't shift the hard to place kids simply because there are few if any places to shift them to. That much I know already. I also know if you choose to foster disabled, ages are up to you and what you feel comfortable with........this is only because the need is so very great. I guess I'll keep it as a future goal. I do understand the whole you need to work thing, I just don't see how I could give consistent care as well as hold down a full time job. Know what I mean??
