Have you ever raised foster children?

Question

e m...yes we (my wife) and i are foster parents to 3 little girls, ages 2 ,3 , and 5.

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Yes , 12 of them.  We adopted the first one who came to us( our only son). and what we thought were the last, twin girls who were newborns when we got them.  We officially retired from fostering after we adopted the girls, but last fall were asked to foster another newborn for a few weeks, until his adoptive parents could take custody.

Answer 3

Wow we are on a roll...with things I can relate to..yes I did...I raised a young boy who had been abused and was born with a few facial deformities...there were times it was very hard, he had been through alot..but I stuck with it..his name is Dennis..I made sure when he was 17 he had all the plastic surgery needed..oh Cliff he was so handsome...he was so happy..and his prom was a thrill for me as well. He is married..still lives up North..has 2 kids works for the state and I am so proud of him..and when he talks about how lucky he was to have me...I always feel pride.

Answer 6

Nope, but there's been lots of teens staying here for extended amounts of time now and then.  The longest being about 8 monthes.

Answer 7

No, but I have thought that I might some day.

I want nothing more than to find Mr Right and make babies.

But if that does not happen, I would DEFINITELY consider fostering children!!!

Answer 8

No, but if I couldn't have children, I was going to adopt. I couldn't be a foster mom, because you would have to give the kids up. I get too attached to them.

Answer 9

No, but I was a foster child.

Answer 10

No have you, my cousin & her husband took foster kids in there home, not an easy task some are sexually, mentally  abused, takes a lot of patience..

Answer 11

No, but I wouldn't mind doing it some day.

Answer 12

I didnt raise them but my family had 2 of them when I was 15.  It was a very difficult time and although it was good for them it was very stressful and takes and enormous amount of patience and I praise anyone who can do it.

Answer 13

Nope, just a dog and a cat.
