[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is something I've considered as well, as a single parent who also has some specialized experience with kids who have experienced trauma. Here is what is holding me back - talking to adults whose parents did this when they were kids. It might be different because you are thinking of infants, but people I know whose parents have taken in older kids and teens often really struggled with sharing their parents' attention, and they maybe didn't have the "life experience" to deal with the foster kids' backgrounds. I don't know - I don't want to warn you off because what you are doing is needed, but also just think very hard about the impact on your bio kids. [/quote] I really appreciate that. The stories of adult children whose families fostered will be my next google search. Thank you[/quote]
