We are ready to start the process to become foster parents, but after speaking with someone at a local agency, I'm wondering if there is even a need(?)
We have 3 bio children (11, 9, and 3) so we would be looking to foster infants up to 3 year olds. The woman I spoke with at this particular agency said that they haven't had ANY infant placements for at least 6 months.
Could this be just an agency thing or is this the case throughout all of the agencies in Austin?
Also, I'd appreciate agency recommendations (PM please), especially any near the southwest end of town.
Thanks!

Fact is that there are a lot of foster parents vying for those young ages. At the same time, I would guess that you'll have a child pretty quickly, especially if you'll accept siblings. We've pretty much kept a kid (or three!) in that age range throughout our time fostering (we do accept older kids also). I say go for it. It'll work out.
