We are licensed for two foster to adopt and also agreed to take emergency placements while waiting for a placement.
Th "emergency" baby girls (sisters) we were placed with back in February (midnight on a Friday night) are still here. Now we're so in love with them we are going to stick it out to see what happens with their case which could be up to a year here in Colorado.
We wouldn't take any more placements because we have our hands full with our 11 yr old bio son and the babies (20mos & 6mos)!
This is the second time. Our first "emergency" placement was last October with a 20 month old and again we were in love with her and we didn't want her moved again so we waited to see what would happen. She left in February to be placed with relatives.
If these girls go home I think we will only take a foster to adopt placement next time with a bit less risk. At least that's what I say now lol!
I'm trying to be open minded... maybe I'm being called to just be a soft "emergency" place for babies to fall
I've so enjoyed my baby girls.
Good luck!
