Does anyone have a traget age group, that they are looking for?

i take children 2 and under. initially it was because i am a single working mom and while infants and young toddlers are a lot of work, i feel that children who are older and have had tramatic home lives, need more time and attention then one full time working parent can give them. now i have adopted and my son is 2 1/2 and i don't want to disrupt his birth order, so i will not take children older than him.

It seems that quite a few foster-to-adopt postings are people who are seeking the harder to place ages. The younger children for instance. Or is that a faulty impression?

i don't know

What made you decide to foster to adopt, instead of straight adoption?

i originally went into fostering to stricktly foster, then my son became available for adoption and he had been in my home since he was 3 months old, by the time he was adopted at 2 1/2 we were already mother and son there was no way i was letting him go.
