[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 524443"] Lisa - we have a foster program here for kids in medical need. Something I really considered doing when we bought this house - but we've been reeling from crisis to crisis and the idea of adding an innocent and ill child to our house of crazy - just doesn't seem right. But it might be perfect for you. Do you live near a major medical (children's) hospital? The program in our city is for kids who need ongoing medical support/treatment but whose families live far from the facilities or in unsuitable housing and are unable to relocate. The kids HAVE families who love them but can't stay with them/care for them while they undergo outpatient treatment. I thought that would be perfect for us - would keep us from getting parentally attached considering that the kids had families who loved them. We were also considering becoming emergency placement foster parents. Temporary placements -from a few nights to 6 weeks until more permanent foster homes could be found or until the kids are placed with family members. Again, that seemed it would help circumvent getting too attached. Mu aunt was a foster parent for years - 6 or 7 - and really inspired me. She is still in touch with all of her foster kids. Quietly - I might add - it MAY also be an answer to your budget woes... [/QUOTE]
