for children that are awarded to the state?





I'm speaking of all the children who are warehoused with no- where to go.



Have you ever considered it or done it?

Yes. I would. I would take a healthy child or a child with physical handicap. I don't think I would do well with a child with emotional problems. (Just me). I have checked into and unfortunately most of the kids have emotional problems.

I grew up as a foster child. I had to get emancipated from the state on my 18th birthday. Yes, as soon as I have more to offer I will house and love foster children.

I wanted to be a big brother once and started the process. But my record kept me from being able to.

the police gave me a baby once...because they didn't have a foster home available...and they threw the mother in jail...

i only had him for three days, but it literally broke my heart to give him up. i'm just not sure i could do that...

Ya I hear ya.


Usally older children don't go back and you can select kids without any parents.



So your heart isn't broken ; I would do both. Even with a broken heart.

I've been a foster parent for greyhounds waiting to find their forever homes. It kills me to let them go, but it's worth it.

A child would be hard to let go also I think. I'd do it given the opportunity. Not sure if they let single men do that sort of thing. Anyone know?
