[quote=Anonymous]It's because of all the time commitments. You might have, say, birth parent visitation twice a week. Birth extended family visits monthly and for holidays. Maintaining relationships with birth siblings in different living situations. Court sometimes, which often requires waiting around all day. Sometimes you have a lawyer and you have to meet with the lawyer. Whatever medical problems the kid has, plus early intervention stuff like speech therapy. Being home for caseworker visits at the appointed time. Catching up on missed dentist, eye doctor, etc. A nanny can do a lot of this stuff, but for much of it, the parent must be present. And much of it happens during the week. I don't want to put anyone off it, because fostering is a wonderful thing. But it's important to be realistic about the logistics. I look forward to fostering if I take early retirement.[/quote]
