When We First Started A Long Time Ago The Only Problem We Had Was With A 5 Year Old Boy And 3 Year Old Girl Sibling Set The Bio Dad Had R*ped The Little Girl And Had Escaped The Local Jail Were He Was Being Held And Entered The School They Were Attending And Unfortunately The Little Boy Was Shot Defending His Sister He Battled In The PICU For A While But Eventually Was Able To Come Home With Us The Next Worse Problem Was We Found Out A Teenage Boy We Were Providing Long Term Foster Care For Lost His Job And Instead Of Telling Us He Joined His Dad’s Gang Luckily We Found Him And Got Him The Help He Needed (He Was 12 He Is Now 29 And Has 5 Kids And Is Working As A Nurse) The Likeliness That You Will Experience Any Type Of Bad Situation Is Not Likely (I Have Fostered Over 2,500 Kids) And Only Had Some Problems With The Parents And Security

My Bio Son Who Is 3 Has Cancer The Doctors And Some Of The Nurses Around Here Know That I Foster And Adopt And I Took My Son In To A Chemo Appointment And We Got A Rude Nurse That Said When She Was Looking Over His Medical History “Why Would You Foster A Kid That Is So Needy” I Responded Calmly “He Is My Son And I Love Him” The Nurse Was Extremely Rude And I Filled A Complaint (I Have Had Over 40 Special Need Bio,Adopted,And Foster Kids And None Of There Care Team Have Been As Rude As That Nurse) I Can’t Believe Medical Personal Are So Rude

Hi My Adopted By Heart Daughter (She’s One Of My Adopted Sons Older Sister) Is 21 Her 7 Year Old Son Has Cystic Fibrosis His Is Pretty Well Managed But It Can Get Bad Another Adopted Son Of Mine Has Diabetes Being 10 And Having Other Special Needs He Can’t Manage It By Himself But I Have Found That It’s Pretty Easy Taking The The Blood Sugar Will Be The Worst They Will Cry Nobody Likes Needles And My Son Doesn't Like Me Monitoring What He Eats (He Would Eat Chocolate All Day If I Let Him) So Yes There Will Need To Be Alot Of Parent Involvement If They Are Younger As They Get Older They Might Be Able To Learn How To Use There Medical Devices
