Hi I am hoping for some words of wisdom, advise on personal experiences regarding the impact fostering 0-5 year olds has on your own young children. I ask because my ex husband won't give consent for his daughter to be in a house with foster children until he has more information. I am nearing the end of my assessment and can't go further without his approval. He is worried our 6 year old will be at risk. I have decided Not to foster sexual abuse case children as there is a risk element and to only have the under 5s again minimising any risk on her. I really hope someone reading this can help as it's so important to me to become a foster carer but I can't do it without your help.
So to recap my assessment is for 0-5s only with no sexual abuse cases and I have a 6 year old daughter living with me. We are going through our local authority.
Please help. Thankyou x
