Hi I'm kind of new to this board, but I post alot on a different site. The common rule there is only take kids under the age of your bios. I know we want to take every kid that comes into the system, but we can't
for their sake and ours. We are only good to the child when the situation is a match. I know I had a sibling group of 4 that my caseworker and every other in the county called and asked about. I was the only home in the county to house all of them. My hubby and I draw the line at 2 FT and 1 poss. respite at a time. If I would have taken those kids we would have just ended up pulling out our hair and distrupting their life when fate finally kicked us in the butt and said you're crazy,lol ! By the way we are only 22 yo and don't have any kids so that would be a huge jump. Anyways, that's my 2 cents. Good luck! ~ daisyd
