I honestly don't know anything yet about fostering that specific age group, but I just wanted to chime in and say that often times while fostering we find out that we can actually deal with a whole lot more then we ever thought we could when it comes to these kiddo's. The other thing is that when it comes to fostering we have every right to request to have a child moved who turns out to be more than we can deal with. Of course it's a hard thing to request to do, but we as foster parents have that right and we have a responsibility to protect & put the best interests of our families first.... and really everyone's realities are so different. What one may consider normal another may consider disruptive. Only you will be able to tell what type of child will fit best with your family, and you most likely find that the "click" won't happen immediately, relationships & bonds take time & nurture to grow & prosper.
