I'm wondering, in general, what the effect of so many people losing their homes will have on foster and fost-adopt care? Anyone having this effect their counties?
Also, I know my fd has an aunt interested in having her placed with her. But, I recently found out she has a lot of debt and is currently in foreclosure (no job or husband). If DCFS or the judge know about this will this effect the placement? I'm sure they don't know because they just look at the home and run fingerprints for family. I'm worried if they place my fd with her then this aunt could be homeless or in a bad living situation in 1 to 2 months time.
Thanks for any info,
mamachell

You should notify the CW or GAL that aunt is jobless and soon to be homeless. They should present an accurately updated homestudy of aunt to the court. Maybe she has backup resources (for her sake I hope so) but this is information the court should have.

I have recently moved to a new area and temporarily renting until I can make a wise investment decision on a home purchase. But I'm very curious about foreclosed homes. I'd like to ask if there's anyone out there who has experience in buying foreclosures? Apparently, the online foreclosure market site, RealtyTrac, recently released its quarterly report on the market, concluding that more than one in four residential home deals in the U.S. during the first quarter were sales of [URL="http://personalmoneynetwork.com/moneyblog/2012/06/06/foreclosure-sales/"]foreclosure[/URL] homes. A glut of foreclosures will lower the cost of homes and hold back market recovery. Last week's Labor Department report showed further slowing in the recovery of the country's jobs industry. The slow economic recovery continues on at snail's pace.

If she is so unstable financially that she is on the brink of homelessness, then she shouldn't take on the child. Howeve, all sorts of people, myself included, have debt, live month to month, have temporary job loss, etc. that shouldn't disqualify anyone from fostering or adopting.

Unless she has money coming in. I don't see how she could foster/ adopt. Now if she's getting a disability, retirement or other type check coming every month and could put money into an apartment, that would be a different store. I don't think her getting money to take care of a foster child would count either.

In my area it probably would not affect a kinship placement as long as the family had somewhere to go and still had space for the child.
A family just wanting to join the general foster pool would likely be asked to wait until they have their financial issues sorted out, though.
