I already feel I am getting older to just be starting this journey

Jaenelle -
It's not really about how 'old' you are, but where your heart is. I started my classes in April of 2002 when I was a mere 46
. I am now 49, single and loving being a foster mother.
I have never been married so have done this on my own the entire time. In the last 2-1/2 years I have had 22 children live in my home (1 and 2 and a time). Of these, 18 have been under one year at time of placement.
To those who wonder if, in their 40's they are too old to begin foster parent training I say 'go for it'. It is the hardest, most rewarding journey I have ever been on.
Blessings,
Lynda
