hi everyone. We are just beginning the process to become foster parents/adoptive parents. We are planning in doing our RAFT training training next month. Not sure when our home study will be. We went through this before and our case worker was not helpful, so we stopped the process. We have now decided to pick it back up. We have three children of our own, they are 16, 15 and 9. The 9 year old is not happy about this. Is there anything I can do to change things for her? She is afraid I won't have time for her anymore. Any advice would be great!! Thanks!!

What ages are you hoping to foster? Gender? Get your child's input and get her involved in the decision making. Why is she resistant to fostering? Will this change affect her in regards to sharing her room? Something I do with our forever children is allow them to skip a day of school every other month. They choose the day and we spend the day together - just the two of us.

She told me she is afraid she won't be the "baby" anymore and that she won't get to spend as much time with me as she does now. She is almost 10....it's time she isn't the baby anymore. I am sure she is going to come around to this. We aren't being picky about gender, but we are about age. We are only taking infants. 0-18 months.
