[QUOTE="house of cards, post: 220014, member: 2005"] I don't know how helpful this is and it is only my personal experience with foster care. The training you are given doesn't really prepare you for doing it. Living it does. My sister did theraputic foster care for years and she was very good at it. She would read about the kid's issues and advocate relentlessly. She enjoyed being theraputic because the state was more likely to give her the services/counselling she wanted for the kid. I did foster care for 10 years but really just with babies, I had one 7 yo for 2 1/2 weeks once and I said never again(he was respite), he lied, stole and bite my youngest. Theraputic foster carers should know what they are getting into and be willing to work with more problems...they should be more experienced. But in truth, the state will probably be willing to take anyone that says they are willing to take kids with a diagnosis so it is a bit of the luck of the draw. [/QUOTE]
