I have an Aunt that did foster to adopt with all three of her kids. I've had a lot of experience with the foster system and some of the kids/teens just get lost in there. I would love to help out the older ones someday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-being-a-foster-parent#post-384311 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 15:37:20 +0000 tororojo 384311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have considered it and may do so at some point! I think we would want to foster to adopt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-being-a-foster-parent#post-383893 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 13:58:32 +0000 Honeybee 383893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I have seriously discussed fostering once our biological children are out of the house. It's something we feel pretty strongly about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-being-a-foster-parent#post-383805 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 13:42:23 +0000 Arden 383805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we were living in the USA long term? Absolutely. </p> <p>I've actually thought before about serving as a doula for incarcerated mothers and then doing foster care for babies of women in prison, caring for them until they are out and rehabilitated and can take their children back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-consider-being-a-foster-parent#post-383782 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 13:36:45 +0000 mediagirl 383782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of our neighbors when I was a child was a foster parent. They always had so many kids at their house. Thinking back on it now, I am so amazed at the strength those parents had to have to have biological and foster children. I don't think I could do it.</p> <p>Could you be a foster parent? </p>
