No, but I'd adopt. I'd have trouble having people come in and out of my life like a foster parent would.

Yes - I would love to do this, if I have a supportive partner who could help out. At the moment, I travel too much to be a single guardian. I have great admiration and respect for my friends who foster hard-to-place children, and my church is also very supportive of these families. thumbs up

that doesn't really happen much.


Most parents are dead or long goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.



with the older kids.


no one wants them because they do have alot of emotional issues.

that is why I said I want a man by my side to help with emotional support and team work etc.

I guess that would depend on what kind of area you are living in and what kind of angency you are fostering for.

I lived in at least 30 foster homes and had about 30 or 40 foster brothers and sisters that were foster kids themselves. I can only think of 2 that didn't have parents still in their life with me being one of them.

it's fine if the parents are in their lives i'd deal with it if it happened.




Don't expect a walk in the park about it though.

I might have to think seriously about it once I get my life squared away. I've also thought about volunteering for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program.

I was inspired by this thread yesterday, so this morning I called the local office for Big Brothers/Big Sisters and inquired. They are going to send me a package of information and an application. And they will let single men participate.
