[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have noticed that one of the restrictions to foster parenting come from the parents' work schedules. Busy professionals can have their own kids, but the system seems to want a home with a SAH mom. What ends up happening is these accepted families are often really unemployed or underemployed, that's why they are home a lot. The system seems to inadvertently pick up a demographic where the kids will not be in a home with hard working professionals. Not trying to criticize any lifestyle, but I just noticed that foster moms tend to fit a particular mold. [/quote] I'm pretty sure the DC foster care agency (CFSA) advertises as open to all types of foster parents. I agree that you need flexibility to take time off when you have a child placed with you and for lots of appointments.[/quote]
