yoddle!

i have always wanted to foster, i recently seriosly descused this with the yettie and he was very up for it in the future!

we want to have 3 bio kids if possible then, since yetti family only make boys we wanted to foster to adopt a girl over 5 quite happy with a teen, pref with some sort of disability as i have had many problems and feel i could help quite well.

after that we would have maby 2 more bio kids then start fostering when youngest is teen.

my question/worries are, i have some sort of bipolar and anxiety attacks, will this rulemeout?

i am physically disabled by m.e. so use wheel chair often and neerly constantly on a crutch but i still get most things done!!

our biokids would be homeschooled, would this push out foster kids? can i homeschool adopted children if they wished it? (pretty sure cant h/e fostereds??)

yettie and i will be living on a canal boat, possibly in a marina sowed have an address is that ok??

im pretty sure wed have to not c/c (move every 14 days) thou i think we can give that up by then for a child.

yettie and i are pretty hands on food growy/meet killing people. is that to weird??

errrr thinkthats it!!! sorry bot spelling mistakes this puter has no back button!!

oh yettie works but i am on disability willbe a stay at home mama!

thanks for reading all that grin

I understand food growy but what's meet killing? Meat is already killed, isn't it?

You sound like v generous person. Wow. But being bipolar sounds like a bit of a stumbling block.

You sound a bit like The Good Life but not many of us are old enough to remember that sitcom.

do you ahve a big boat? and where do your grow your food? and kill you meat?

FirenzeandZooey · 12/07/2007 22:51

You sound a bit bonkers. That could be an advantage IMO. You seem to have a humorous attitude to life which is a BIG help to any situation.

Why are you so keen to plan your family out in advance like this? You may change your mind once you get going, you know. I always wanted a big family until I had ds and then realised I actually wanted to take things slower.

How do you grow the food if you move every 14 days? I can not even grow beans on that time.

I don't think this is a wind up. This has the glorious ring of truth.

How old are you btw byroadorbyriver?

MamaMaiasaura · 12/07/2007 22:53

f&z - i used your banana cake recipe. Was lovely thanks

Butterbeertroot · 12/07/2007 22:53

maybe they are grown in pots so they can be moved - what are the grobags things? - and the cows follow behind tethered to the boat?

FirenzeandZooey · 12/07/2007 22:53

Me? What, now?

don't think so

Oh good I am glad Awen

I don't know where to begin on most of this, but it would be very unusual to have a family that was only capable of "making" boys, so I wouldn't take that as a given. I do also know that my friends who foster have had a huge battle lasting several years to be allowed to send their foster children to the local school as opposed to the one nearest their birth family, so I don't think home ed would be particularly favoured.

have you ritually slaughtered your cat??
