[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=LoriCroit][i][b]Before jumping into adopting, you might consider contacting your county and becoming a foster parent. There are a lot of challenges being a single mother and being a foster mother might give you insight.

There are a lot of places online that you could research about adoption and foster parenting that you could look into.

Consider praying about this decision. I will be praying for you. Good luck! [/b][/i][/quote]

This is SUCH bad advice.  You don't use troubled children to see if being a single parent is right for you. That is SO fucked up.

Signed, 
bio and foster parent.

PS - being a foster parent is way harder. duh.

Surely there is more of a need for foster parents than adoptive parents? Why is fostering bad advice? It is designed with the family reunification in mind.
How is that a trial? [/quote]

Fostering is bad advice if you're only doing it to see if you want to have a kid another way, or hoping that reunification will fail so you get to keep a kid.
Fostering is an important thing to do but it is hard and the only people who should do it are people who can actually support the child's goal, which generally starts out as reunification. 
And we should all do more as a society so fewer kids need foster care.[/quote]
I get the impression that good quality foster homes are a legend[/quote]
