[GRGFOR2]

I have never been a foster parent but joined this group because I would like to be one. I adopted two brothers but it was a private adoption so even then I was not fostering the boys.

I have no concern about being able to pass all the home studies and foster care licensing needs. My concern is more about whether it would be fair to the children, both my own and any children that I might foster.

Both my boys have mental health needs that are being treated and one of the boys has Asperger's Syndrome. I am a single parent.

Do any of you have special needs children of your own and if so .... does it work out okay when foster children are introduced into the family.

I care about CHILDREN and felt that I would be a great foster parent since I am a SAHM. I am just unsure whether to get the ball rolling on it if it would harm in any way my children or children I might foster.

Opinions appreciated............Lynn
