Hi all
I am after a few years vaguely wondering, now beginning to think seriously about fostering when my own children are older.
I am particularly interested in temporary fostering perhaps of babies or respite care. Babies removed at birth because their mothers are drug addicts (and therefore the babies are addicted) interests me in particular
But as a newbie I am slightly clutching at straws.
How does it work out financially? (not that I would do it for the money obviously!)
I know that in my county there are only 2 placements available for temporary overnight stay (for teenagers) so I am assuming their is a local need for more foster carers?
Thankyou for your thoughts everyone! :)
