wnat to be foster mom and dad

My husband and I both have full time jobs, but we would like to be foster parents. I call the office of social services last week to send me information about becoming a foster parent. Since my husband and I both have full time jobs, I was wondering if you had to take a child with disabilites. I don't feel that we would be able to fully care for a child who has major illnesses. I'm not sure of the whole picture because I have not gone to a class.

I am in MD, but you can tell them what you will accept and what you will not accept. In addition, when they call you, you can always so NO. I have never had a chid with disabilities (at least not traditional disabilities).
