I'm posting on behalf of MIL as I promised to help her look into it.
Basically she's been wanting to foster for quite a while but has no idea how it works.
Ideally she's looking at fostering teens or older children. She has two spare bedrooms they're quite small but more than adequate. It's just her living at home since her husband died 5 years ago and her son and daughter have moved out. Would it be a problem that she works? She works in a school so she's gone from 8 until 4 Monday to Friday but is off weekends and school holidays.
The school she works at is a specialist secondary school so she has experience of dealing with disabled children and Children who have behaviour problems.
I know the best thing to do would be to contact SS and the agencies for advice but was hoping to maybe get some advice from people with first hand experience of fostering?
