I would say Go for it!!!!
I think my Mom is in mourning for my infertility, but is trying to be supportive.
I tell people a wide variety of things depending on how snarky they are with me.
But I truly believe fostering is a calling. Like nursing or the clergy. Will I have my heart broken, Yes. But I am an adult and it is NOT about me.
And God doesn't call the equiped, he equips the called!
Also, letting people know about respite care I think I have a few families that may be up for that challenge. Because they want to help, but just can't make the full time foster parent commitment at this point in their lives.
Tell people you are in the process of getting your license and educate them on the real foster care system.
Good luck!
