I've always wanted to foster, but it's never been the right time until now. My children are adults and I feel I have the time and energy to dedicate myself to children needing a home whether for the short term or long term. The reason I'm posting is because everytime I research, or come on here to read threads, it seems people's real lives experiences are really complicated. There appears to be alot of barriers, alot of bureaucracy, people who sound like good people being refused, and being honest, it's putting me off. Can anyone give me the positives? Not so much the actual fostering, but the process. I just feel if I emotionally invest in the prospect of being able to foster, but then the process is difficult and I get refused I'd be devastated. Any experiences would be greatly appreciated.
