After going to a few information evenings and speaking to some social workers we have decided to formally start our application to foster in the spring. Our 11 is pretty unsure about it, though. Sometimes he says he's 50/50 and other times he just outright doesn't want us to foster.

I've spoken to him about his concerns a few times, and reassured him that we would would still spend 1 to 1 time with him, and could look at starting out with respite, but he says that he likes our family the way it is.

Has anyone else experienced similar? How would the assessing sw view this?
