Hullo
My family (myself, DH and bd8) are considering becoming a foster
family. One thing nags at me though and I thought this might be
a good place to ask for others' opinions.
To differing degrees, DH and I are Pagan. We are the type of
person for whom spirituality is an intensely private and personal
thing and most of our family and friends are not aware of our
beliefs and we're fine with that. We live in a fairly conservative, heavily churched area.
We hear horror stories though of similarly-believing people who
suffer from discrimination and worse (losing jobs, custody of their
children, etc.). I suppose my question is, could the fact that our
beliefs are outside the mainstream be a factor in being approved
for fostering?
I appreciate the fact that religion is such a flashpoint and I have
no desire to start a heavy discussion about it. But I would appreciate any insight you could provide
Thanks!
