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

Ahh but you don't have to be legally trained to be a JP. Still, it does prove she's under 70.

expeLYRAmus · 12/07/2007 23:16

No, it used to be called manic depression.

MamaMaiasaura · 12/07/2007 23:16

Nooo kerry it isnt schozophrenia.. Look it up. It is a mental illness but totally different.

Tamum · 12/07/2007 23:17

Umm no, I know you don't- I was just suggesting that she might employ the word yoddle, not meaning anything more significant...

Butterbeertroot · 12/07/2007 23:18

yoddle

Tamum · 12/07/2007 23:18

There's actually quite a lot of overlap genetically between bipolar and schizophrenia, it now seems, but they are still different diagnoses.

MamaMaiasaura · 12/07/2007 23:20

Tamum, that isnt what i have found.. although in mental health alot of symptoms overlap as if someone has a longstanding mh issue then it can be complicated with depression/substance misuse/personality issues etc.

Butterbeertroot · 12/07/2007 23:20

we have many people with bipolar calling the samritans

MamaMaiasaura · 12/07/2007 23:22

not surprised butter. Anyway, nite all.. need sleep x

Tamum · 12/07/2007 23:24

Awen, this is up-to-date stuff from very well respected psychiatric genetcists. It's not something you would notice in clinical practice unless you are studying pedigrees.

filchthemildmanneredjanitor · 12/07/2007 23:26

can you change anything?

well first i would have one child and see how hard it is to bring up while living on a houseboat , in a wheelchair, with bipolar.

if after 5 years you are still alive/sane/with 'the yetti, then maybe come back and ask again!

Good for you roadandriver it sounds much more interesting than most people's lives

not sure if you need 8 children plus foster children to liven things up really, I would have one and see how you feel then
