[quote=Anonymous]My $0.02 is to explore foster parenting with the goal of adopting through foster care. Its a way for a child, or siblings, in your preferred age range to be placed with you. We were foster parents to a toddler for two years before adopting her shortly after her third birthday. The Home Study is paid for, and there is a daily stipend as well as money for child development center expenses. (Not enough money in our case, so there were out-of-pocket expenses that weren't reimbursed). But when you do adopt, as a single teacher, you should be able to claim the adoption tax credit to claw that money back. Even after you adopt your child(ren) should have Medicaid as the secondary payer, and, depending on the state, free college. All the best to you. [/quote]
