Thanks for watching! Any questions about preparing for foster care parenting? Don't forget to join my free adoption group 👇🏾👇🏾 www.facebook.com/groups/adoptionsupportandresource…

This reminds me of my childhood. I lost everything and everyone I knew in one day. My 12 year old brother was dead and our mom went to jail for murder. That was 29 years ago, but I had some Amazing families who I lived with until the courts finally placed me with some relatives to raise me! I'm forever grateful to those foster families!

I’m only 18, months away from going to college, and I’m looking forward to fostering children when I’m older. This was very helpful

I’m 22 & really want to foster. I know I am legally eligible but I feel too young. I wish I could hear from other young foster parents

Fostering sounds scary.... In that as the foster mom i am going to be attached to the child then bam..... He or she is gone.. That's hard.

Fostercare is such a gift! It's hard but it's 100% worth it!!

I'm 16, live with my grandparents and we are in the process of fostering.

As a biological child of foster parents ive got some tip almost knowone ever talks about in foster care because they dont care I think. If you thinking about getting into foster care and want to have multiple foster children but you have 1 biological child, dont do it. Because you are getting verry bossy with foster children they need extra care there behavior is different then biological children because of children. So that means there will be a lot of times you neglet your biological child meanimg they feel lonely there will be times they will feel they dont belong. They may feel a competition for love because the foster gets all the attention. With all consecuences in the futhure. Also some foster children also will be jealous on your child and will attack them. So make sure when you go in fostercare and you have biological children that you have 2 of them at least. Also biological children are a key to make caring for a foster succeed or not. Moster fosters first go talk to a kid then to an adult so your biological child will hear storys from the foster first. Some foster kids wont talk to adults because the adults are the ones that hurt them or the ones that took them away from there parents so trust in adults is verry low so when you have a biological child thats a huge plus but make sure you have 2 of them. Because when your an fosterparent with a biological child you may think your at the front line. But your not you biological is at the front line and the case workers and everyone else in fostercare does not care about your biochild. Biochildren in foster care are invissible theyre almost disposable. Also make sure you spent time with your biochildren every week talk to them and take them serious. The foster children are damaged for life already. There is no need to let your biological child get damaged for life. Make sure they know and feel that someones cares about them to. Believe me it can be really lonely as a biochild from foster parents your invisible 🫥

I'm 19 and want to adopt kids in the future.

I just had a 24 year old move out and my 18 year old daughter is about to move out. So I need one of the extra rooms for one of my hobbies but I'll have an extra room soon. So I'm considering fostering

Great tips. I am a former foster parent who relocated down south and am considering getting back into it. I am also looking to start a support group for some church members who are fostering and these tips coupled with my 15 years experience as a foster parent I feel will really help.
