[QUOTE="Star*, post: 159781, member: 4964"] You know - I think I would go ahead with a foster care license. For a few reasons - because 1. the state would then have to pay you, difficult child would be MORE in line with 'services', and 2. you could then take on other kids who you would be a gem of a parent to find for other difficult child kids - and that way your grandson would have other kids his age around and get socialized. It's not ever about the money vs. child - but wouldn't it make more good reasons for the services your grandson would get? And with the extra money from taking in other fosters - you could put some back for HIS future. Congratulations on your other child graduating - that's quite an accomplishment. How is your difficult child going to live there and not be insisting she help you? And what about the father? Will he get to see him and be a part of his life? What about the other 1/2 sister? What happens to her? If you were a foster - you could take her in you know. Just thinking out loud. Possibly NONE of it making sense. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
