Hi everyone! My name is Steph, i'm a SAHM of 4 bio kids and currently have 2 foster kiddos. My situation is a bit different in that my foster's are also my niece and nephew.
This is the 3rd time they've lived with us, we've had them a bit over a year this time so far. 1st time was a month when mom was in jail, 2nd was a year when they were taken by CPS. We had never gotten licensed before, but decided to this time.
We've been licensed since Sept. 2011. The kids are in the process of reunification and currently visiting mom every weekend. I'm not sure how things are going to go as their mom has a new man in the picture and is pregnant again!
We plan to continue to foster when/if they go home.
I've been wanting to connect with other foster parents for a while and i've been trying to start a fb group ([url]https://www.facebook.com/FosterParentsUnited[/url]) as well as a local support group. I really don't know where to start with all that though.
I also blog ([url=http://www.mommyneedsacookie.blogspot.com]Mommy Needs A Cookie![/url]) to vent stuff out, it has foster stuff on it, but it's mostly just life stuff!
I would love to connect with more people who "get" where i'm at in life! Please feel free to email me anytime (shalvors7 at gmail.com) I'm in southwest Michigan, if anyone is close by i'd love to meet!
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Hi Steph. My name is Tami, and my partner/wife's name is Mindy. We are a lesbian couple, and my wife has two biological daughters from a previous marriage. We are planning to foster in 2014 when the oldest is 18.
I am so excited you started that Foster Parents United. I want to join a foster parent support group locally, but can't seem to find one. We live in Illinois. When I started coming to this forum, I was hoping to meet other possible friends who I could talk to, but so far, no one has really been interested in talking to me, not sure if it's lesbian thing, or people are just too busy. I will look at your blog and the FB site today! Way to go!!!
