We aren't fostering yet, but plan to as soon as our daughter enters kindergarten (3 more years). My husband will be 3rd generation--both he and his Mom grew up with their parents fostering kids of all ages. Due to his experience, however, we plan to only foster kids younger than our daughter. He also hated sharing his parents; it was one reason he wanted to have only one child. (That's changed now that we have a kid, but we aren't sure if we'll have more kids that belong to us or "just" do foster care.) It'll be a while before I'm blogging about foster care but I will be there eventually!AnnMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505967972774910106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21112957.post-84673155437407308802007-06-14T06:53:00.000-06:002007-06-14T06:53:00.000-06:00I'm a little late to the game but I have four chil...I'm a little late to the game but I have four children of my own (from 3 to 11) and 2 foster children (7 and 9). I have asked the agency to find me ANYONE who is raising their own children along foster children and so far they haven't been able to.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235941490505824539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21112957.post-6758445814077667102006-10-04T17:56:00.000-06:002006-10-04T17:56:00.000-06:00Hi!

We've had kids up to age 11. The blog is not all about fostering, but there's some interesting stuff in there if you hunt, especially around March in 2004 and 2005, and August in 2004. You're welcome to drop by. How much I discuss about fostering at any given time really depends on the social workers I'm dealing with right then, and how paranoid I'm feeling.<BR/><BR/>www.mistress.hellequin.net/weblog/fingerprints.htmlStarlin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/17400448865064405069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21112957.post-1144328172432049242006-04-06T06:56:00.000-06:002006-04-06T06:56:00.000-06:00We have two bios, three children through adoption,...We have two bios, three children through adoption, and have one long-term "respite" care here. Due to recent events and a strong desire to help, we are probably going to focus our attentions on foster care.
