We had started fostering when my girls were barely 5 and 3; we stopped. It was too much for them. I am a stay at home mom. So we went from doing our thing, to going to numerous appts. all the time, transporting kids here and there, etc. They did not like have to share their stuff with kids they did not know. We had a three year old and her 18 month old brother; she tried to push my little one down the stairs. That was the end for us.
Now the girls are 8 and 5. We are hoping to adopt. We will only take high legal risk situations of children younger than 2 b/c there is such a limited history on them. We will not take boys older than 4 under any circumstances . We are open to girls as old as 10-12, only if they fit our criteria. These kids have seen and heard things you can not even imagine. You have to be extremely careful.
