I love the chance to share my positive experience with foster care! My dh and I became licensed in August, 2001. We turned down several placements that were not quite in our desired range. In April, 2002 we had a 4-month old baby boy as a short term placement. When he was returned to his mom in May, 2002 our hearts (and our home) had quite a void.
In July, 2002 we accepted a placement of a newborn baby girl. She was absolutely perfect! Her adoption was final 7 months later. She is the absolute light of our lives.
I know not every experience with foster care can be positive, but sometimes the negative experiences can really weigh you down. Focus on the positives and when it's time, it WILL happen.
Good luck!
