HI all im new here. Have been considering becoming a foster carer for awhile. trouble is i'm single and only 22! I am also not a parent. not sure that i would be taken seriously and considered. I have experience with children having babysat/looked after friends children since i was a teenager. i currently work as a support worker for adults with learning difficulties but am planning to start to work for myself at home. Ideally i would like to foster babies to under 5s. however i have a dog (lab) and also keep horses, sheep, chickens, ducks and pigs! it all sounds alot but actually its not too much work. Do you think that i would be remotely considered under these circumstances? thanks in advance for any replies.
