My husband and I would love to foster and have just started assessment. Currently, all the checks are being done including a medical report. My husband has already has his done but I am terrified. I am active, work about 10 hours a day and try to go to the gym 2 to 3 times a week, I am very overweight - around 18 stone. We are hoping to have short term placements until we are experienced and then perhaps change to long term fostering. Has anyone ever had their weight stop them from becoming a foster carer? By the way, my husband will be the full term carer while I continue to work. Any advice please. Thanks
