My dh & I are 90% sure we want to foster or foster/adopt. I was just wondering what made you decide to foster? What are the pros and cons?

We are nervous about how this would effect our bio son. He is 8 yo and he has high functioning autism. He wants a brother so bad that I am not sure how he would be when the child would have to be returned. I am sure that we could find a way to explain this to him but I think it would be difficult for him.

We are currently ttc our own but we are scared that we could have another autistic child. We also feel a need to add to our family, I don't necessarily feel the need to give birth.

Should you always foster/adopt in birth order? Should we only take kids that are younger than our ds?

Thanks!
