if anyone is doing specialized foster care, does your agency limit the amount of children you can have? or do they suggest you can only have 2 kids at a time or something of that nature....

I am in Montana and we can only have one at a time if they are specialized foster care.

The regulations in NJ are pretty strict, or at least they try to be (there are times that DYFS does issue a waiver). If you are interested in becoming a SHP home, here are the stipulations:

The household limit is 6 children in a SHSP home. There can't be more than 2 children under the age of 2 and no more than 2 SHSP children in a home at any time. One parent needs to be in the home at all times and can work no more than 10 hours outside the home per week. If a foster parent is a SHSP parent, it is requested that they only take SHSP children and not regular foster children as well
