I was reading the getting to know everyone and read a couple of post from women who are doing foster care soon. I am not sure if yall are going to just take kids who will be adopted out or taking just any kids. DH and I have been doing this since august and we have had 3 respite care, twin boys (2) and then a newborn and the We got the boys in august then the newborn in october. She left in december and the boys left the begining of january and we just got 2 girls thursday who look like maybe adoptions! So i was just seeing who out there is thinking of foster care also. I have made a really good friend from here that does foster also and we talk on the phone every day. It is nice to have that because foster care + infertility is hard but worth it also. Good luck to those who are doing this!

Hello Janis,


I do not do foster care, but DH and I have thought about Foster/Adopt.

yeah it is pretty great. I am just impatient and wanted just to have a child so we did this. even if we don't get to keep them we help them and they help us just for a bit.
