[quote=Anonymous]I feel strongly moved to take in a foster child.  I have two boys of my own and work FT, but at a pretty low key, 35-40hr a week job.  I have my youngest at a licensed home daycare that would have space and be willing to take a foster child-if the child were that young.

If I were to take in an older school aged child, what happens with school? Do I need to drop them off at their respective school in the AM and pick them back up, or would they attend the school in my district (I'd imagine that it would be best if they attended their own school).

What has your experience been? I'm feeling more and more stongly about doing this with each passing day....my DH is half on board, but will go with what I want to do, since i already to most of the heavy lifting at home.  I believe we have been blessed as a family and have a lot to give, not only materially, but on an emotional/stability level as well.  DH and I have a solid unified relationship and have weathered our oldest child being critically sick for the first two years of his life, so I feel after going through that stress and surviving it, we can take on anything life throws at us.[/quote]
