Types of Level 2-3 Kids
I am almost finished with classes to become a therapeutic foster home with a private agency. I am accepting kids 0-5 years of age, with a heavier emphasis on medically fragile kids. Just wondering who else fosters L2-3 kids, what issues they have and if any of you get infants/toddlers or just older kids? I am trying to prepare myself as best I can Any stories/experience/tips would be much appreciated!!!

We are a foster/adopt home licensed through a private agency. We currently have 5 children that are level 3. They are ages 7,5,4,4 and 3 Our children are more emotional/behavioral vs the medical. Ours are RAD and FASD. We haven't had any problems with getting younger children and we were open to siblings up to the age of 10. Good luck!

We have 2 level 2 kids (older though), they are medical, both have cystic fibrosis and the older one has diabeties. They are also classified behavioral level two, although I have no idea why as they have less behavioral problems then any of our Level 1 foster kidos.
