My husband and I have been wanting to foster for about 4 years but have been doing up our house and are now finally ready. After speaking to 2 agencys and the LA I am so confused about the best route to take!
We have 3 spare bedrooms so are able to take a sibling group and we have no preference re age/sex. We have 2 children of our own age 4 and 6.
Obviously the dilemma here is money, we would get paid more for 2 children with an agency than we would for 3 with the LA.
We are not 'in it for the money' before anyone says that but obviously we will be able to provide a better life for the kids if we do not have financial worries. But I am worried that we will be left empty with an agency.
Does anyone have experience of either or both and can anyone advise please?
Thanks in advance xx
