[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tried to foster as a single woman and I was told no because of my job. They told me there has to be one person (one parent in a two parent family or me in my case) who is available during the workday. They said you can have a job but it has to be very flexible and family friendly. That you have to be able to go to the school when problems arise, take the child to appointments and biofamily visits, meet with the case worker etc. They also want a parent home the bulk of the time when the child isn't in school so one parent who works a short day. They basically said I would either have to work part time or have a very flexible work from home job that didn't really have set hours.[/quote] Curious which jurisdiction this was in. Also curious, Do foster parents have any say in when all of those appointments other posters have talked about are scheduled? [/quote]
