I'm guessing that there would be a question of how a single parent could support a household as a SAHM. They emphasize in our training here that the foster subsidies are for kids' needs, so we need to be able to pay our rent or mortgage and household bills without the foster funds to be eligible.
yeah what pp said....I know they went through my work/financial statements/bank statements....nothing financially intrusive but enough to know that I'm supporting myself and could support another child without a subsidy.
that being said....if they feel your home is a match for a particular sibling group they would match you with them and then you all would go from there....just because you are matched doesn't mean the placement will ultimately take place....I went through that twice before L.
Well, if someone has no debt (including the house) and doesn't have a lot of extras like cable, they don't need a lot of money. I can live comfortably on $500 a month (I have a garden and farm animals, so food is pretty much free because I sell the excess to break even.) So if I had an income of $1000 from watching 2 kids, do you think they would let me adopt? I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but I don't get food stamps or assistance in any way, and usually put $500 a month in the bank.
