Hello,
I have been thinking about fostering for a long time now and have decided I should go for it. My husband and my 2 boys are 100% behind me on this.
I'm just wondering if someone can give me some advice as to what kind of questions we will be asked, as I've heard they can be quite intrusive?
I am very excited about (hopefully) being accepted to being a foster mum and helping children find their way in the world, but I do have a bit of a worry.
Last year, I had to go to the doctor for depression, and was put on anti depressents. I have just recently come off the medication and I'm more positive about me than I ever have been.
I can honestly say me being depressed didnt affect my boys (aged 15 and 8) a all. I have 2 happy, healthy cheeky boys. I have so much love, time and patience to give to children, but will me being depressed prevent me from becoming a foster mum?
many thanks x
