I've been getting calls quite regularly for the last few weeks. I'm in Region 3, Dallas/Fort Worth.

I spoke to a worker who called about placing an infant and asked her what was going on and she said there just weren't enough foster homes right now. The baby they called me about might have to go to a shelter because of the lack of foster homes. I couldn't take her because I'm going out of town tomorrow and already had to find respite care for my newest placement--a 2 year old girl.

I don't know if the foster homes are already full or just inactive or what is going on. I expect to start getting calls again after the holiday...

This is the first time in 2 years of being a foster parent that I have received so many calls. I even got 4 calls in one day a few weeks ago...that never happened previously...

Call your worker and inquire about the situation. He/she might be able to help...
