Hello all,
I had written a post a while back about our relocating to NJ and wanting to continue fostering (as we have done here in MA) when we get settled. We have bought a home in Gloucester county (Swedesboro) and I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts on fostering 0-18 mos in this area. Are referrals forthcoming or are people waiting for longer periods of time? We are open to either sex, any race/ethnicity, any health/medical issues, etc. Really our only "preference" is age. I would love to hear from others fostering in Gloucester co! Have a great weekend!

Hi there! I am in Gloucester Co. I had a newborn baby last year for a bit. You will get more calls if you expand up your age. Maybe to age 2.Most of the calls at get are for children just removed from the home because of abuse/neglect.Call the two offices in Glouco and let them know you are around and make sure they know what your parameters are.

HI! Thanks for your thoughts, that is good to know. Really, my main concern is staying with children younger than our youngest (who just turned 4). Our last placement before we moved was a child who was about 6 months older than he and we had so many issues; it was really rough. (part of the problem was birth order related but part of it also was that we were doing IFC care) I am thinking I will call on Monday morning and start the process letting them know we are open to ages 2 and under. How long was the baby with you, it sounds like he/she went home? Thanks again for your response!
