[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 591845, member: 84"] Well........all I know is last time I looked into foster care some 30 yrs ago no one asked my income or if I had a job. Of course I was married.....but still. The moment I wasn't "turned off" by the idea of caring for a disabled child, the person was so eager I thought they were going to crawl through the phone. ( I wish I was kidding, but I'm not. It shocked me) I thought they were eager before......but soon as the word disabled entered into it, over zealous would be more appropriate. We had a couple I believe somewhere around here who had 5 disabled kids and did not work........and yes, it was horrid.......and charges were brought........and it made me sick to my stomach. Nichole had stumbled across an orphanage (facility) for disabled children that were more then eager to train (intensive training program no medical knowledge required but just her basic EMT had them bubbling over) for a specific child's needs, help with doctor visits ect, help with therapy or whatever is needed for the child.....you just care for them and give them a real home to live in, and of course love and a family. She is attempting to "stumble" upon it again. I guess I'll keep looking into it. I'm certainly [B]not[/B] doing it for the money.......so if I have to wait until someday in the future when either I win the lottery or retire, then so be it......but I'd like to be young enough to [B]enjoy[/B] the kids as well as be physically able to still care for them. easy child's mother in law was a foster mom, so perhaps I can get some information through her.
