hi, i am a foster parent in mo and have an almost 2y/o foster son, i am in the process of adopting. i would like to start taking foster children again. anyone had a similar situation? how long did you wait til you started fostering again? also, would love to hear some positive foster and/or adoption stories.
I also am adopting my 2 year old foster daughter. I have struggled with the same question. Recently i was trying to get in the front door after an outing with a tired hungry 2 year old who wanted to be held, a diaper bag, and some shopping bags. That moment helped me make my decision. I don't want another baby until this one is a little more grown up. It just seems too stressful. I want to be able to spend the time each child requires and I feel that I would not be able to do my best if the children are too close in age. I've decided to wait till she's 4 or 5. It is an individual decision though. Good luck and Congrats!!

Hi mckenna, We also have adopted via mo foster system, placements of children vary on your county intake and the availablity you have. Let your county intake worker know you are interested in another placement. Hope this helps.
