Question: "We also are trimming our debt by quite a bit, since we are living paycheck to paycheck, we worry that would disqualify us. we know in the next 6 months, we will be in a much better place financially. If we are not great now, will that put us out right away?"
We are also a large family (seven inc. me and dh), and according to poverty quidelines, we are poverty level, BUT, we own our home, have no car payments, and can easily provide for our family b/c of this with some money to save every month. Our licensing worker knows this, and she said they just want to make sure we don't need the monthy stiped to pay our bills we have now, that we will be able to use it for the child.
So my understanding is if your paying your bills on time, even if your not 'rich' you would still be able to foster. You may want to check with your county just to make sure though!
Good luck
