Thinking of doing foster care and have a bio son who is 7 months?
|
I suffered from infertility and went through several treatments to have my son. Before I finally became pregnant my husband and I got through all of our training we just didn't finish our homestudy. I know I want more children and I'm thinking about doing foster to adopt instead of doing more fertility treatments. I would even be okay with keeping young children until their families got help to provide for them. My husband and I are both 22. We just bought a four bedroom house so we have the room. I'm just wondering what others opinions are.

If you feel moved to do it then now is as good a time as any to get started. It will no doubt take time to get things in order and all I can suggest you do is not take on too much too soon after your son was born. You still need time to tend to his needs and to continue to bond so take that time and then when you want, get started on fostering and eventually adopting. You are young and there is no hurry. |

Hi, your son is only seven months old, and you are both young-enjoy this moment. Wait a bit longer before rushing into fostering, i know of a few families where their parents were always fostering and the biological kids felt like they were left out because these kids came from various backgrounds of neglect & abuse- so there parents gave them a lot of attention that they needed. Also the older children felt a bit like a full time babysitter.
You might even have more children of your own without fertility, it has happened. |

That's exactly how and why my wife and I started being foster parents. We started out wanting little ones, but there was a huge need for teen girls. So we fostered teen girls for 12 years. Started in 96 and we had our first daughter in 2001 (fertility treatments as well). Now we have 3 biological kids and no more foster kids. Well, that live with us, anyway. Most are now in their 20s (one is 30 ... damn that makes me feel old ... I'm only 39!!!) and the ones we have contact with still call us their mom and dad.
It was very challenging, frustrating, emotional .... and oh so rewarding. I wouldn't have changed a thing. Teen girls were great! |

If i were you i would enjoy my son now. If you have other children in the home you wont be able to give your son undivided attention and may miss some of the first things he does. Think about it long and hard and if you still want to be a foster paretn i would wait until your son is older. It's not fair to him right now he needs you. He didnt ask to be here you brought him into this world and its up to you to provide the best care you can give him right now. Having one child is hard enough but bringing in another child while your son is still so young is extremely hard. |
