[quote=Anonymous]When I explored "foster-to-adopt" 15 years ago as a single person, I attended information sessions and met with social workers in several Virginia counties and in DC. I truly believe I was initially misinformed by several informational sessions and some of the social workers promoting the "adopt" more so than the "foster" needs of their programs. Admittedly one social worker told me they were so desperate for foster or respite homes, they emphasized the "adopt" to get more people interested! I did go through a program but realized fostering a child with reunification goals would be too difficult for me, especially after seeing 2 acquaintance experience this heartbreak. But now that my bio son is a teen, I'm planning to foster once he enters high school. [/quote]
