I was thinking of fostering as I think I am wasting my time waiting for local adoption to eventuate. Anyone done any? Any advice?

I have not done it, but I think it is not for the "faint hearted", I don't think I could give the kids back afterwards, but that's just me. And of course you never know how many and what issues the kids bring with them. But it is a great thing to do and I admire everybody who does it and it will also bring you advantages for an adoption as you can show you have experience with kids. So go for it!!!

We are approved foster parents but decided to go ahead with our LA application and put taking a placement on hold. We only have 1 spare bedroom and the thought of bringing a fosterchild into a home and then having to ask them to be moved if we were placed through LA was just not something I could do. If things do not work out with LA or us we will definately be fostering (and down the track if we are placed, fostering will be apart of our lives too)
