My girlfriend, soon to be spouse, I'm in a same sex relationship, and I have discussed fostering. She has a 31 year old daughter, I am childless (hate that word, but couldn't think of another). We both work full time (I would stop). Own own home (well, smallish mortgage so we could manage with one wage) live pretty comfortably (on current salaries). Have a double bedroom empty. But we are both in our early 50's. I just think we could help in some way...I'm a trained Nanny and my girlfriend works full time with young adults with learning difficulties with a particular focus on autism (she amazes me with some of the things she tells me she does). Have no idea where to start. I'm overweight....13 stone and 5ft 5 inches. I just keep thinking should we even try only to be rejected?
