Advice for new FP
Howdy! I am a single 31 year old foster mom. I got my first placement 05/09/08. It was a sibling group of 7 and I got 3 of them. I have since had a disruption with my boy FK and he has been moved. However, I still have both girl FK. I am needing advice on what to do. My two are NOT going to be up for adoption, in fact, they should be placed with family soon. I am wanting to adopt a sibling group. I have found a sib group of 2 girls, ages 7 and 8. Should i wait it out and see if they are still available when my original foster kids leave? Or try all four? I do not want to remove my FK's. They are awesome and I just couldnt do that to them. I also plan on continuing foster after I adopt. SOOOOO please help a newbie out!!! What to do what to do... OH and sorry for not using the abbreviations.. i just joined today =)
Blessings Dori

Hmmmm
If you have care and the room for all 4, I would go for it. Ask the current girls how they feel about adding to the fun ... you didn't say what ages the two you have now are. . .
By care, I mean that being single, you probably work, so "daycare" . . Good Luck and Welcome
