Single foster parents - How many kids?

I have one (plus 2 kids by birth) will probably eventually go up to 2, but not for awhile. I am sooooo glad I only took one for my first placement. Also, I specifically asked for school-aged kids since they will not get sick quite as often-I don't have a very flexible job. Age is definitely important, and you should think about your job and what ages work with it. I know one single mom who only takes teens and swears it's the best, several who take babies and/or toddlers, and another who takes school agers. They all can't imagine taking any other age group than the one they do. Working around work was/is my #1 concern in a lot of ways.
