Hello. I have always wanted to become a foster carer, but my DH wouldn't agree to it, well he has moved out so I don't have that problem anyway!
Is there a minimum age you have to be?
Can you say what age groups you would like to foster? I am in my early 20s so wouldn't feel comfortable having a teenager for now really (unless they were very well behavied but I am guessing thats unlikely!)
I am a registered childminder, could I still carry on with doing this? I only have one child of my own.
I have a baby - will this effect whether I can foster or not?
I have a spare room, with a bed and cupboard etc, would this be enough? Its not massive and the bathrooom is then downstairs?
Any advice would be great!
