Have you bought a bigger home to take in more kids...

Foster care is not considered income, it's reimbursement. If you get a lender who know's the diference then you wouldnt make it through. You need to be able to get the bigger home and maintane what it cost's on your income alone without dependence on the foster care stipend. I've not purchased a bigger home to accomodate foster kids. My vote would be no it's not a good idea unless you know you can swing it never having a placement. Good luck!
