I am set up for 5 and under, but before even getting children, am considering limited our ages from that to younger. We'll just have to see how it all goes. We definitely have a heart for it, but family comes first, I agree. Good luck on making a decision on what to do next.Mommy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970863651571623082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181450402630174309.post-17477594131980000832009-05-13T11:36:00.000-07:002009-05-13T11:36:00.000-07:00I would be totally fine with it, but unfortunately...I would be totally fine with it, but unfortunately I don't think that we are going to continue. This experience has taught me a whole lot about myself, what I can handle and what I can't, and what my kids can handle and what they can't. And they can't handle the fostering. I'm not going to put them through it again. If it was just me and my husband, we would be right back in it. But it's not, and I have these 3 little angels to think about. I feel badly that we won't be able to help others, but I have to think about my family first.Crystal Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07394382243740184617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181450402630174309.post-52110981046016895052009-05-13T11:31:00.000-07:002009-05-13T11:31:00.000-07:00Yes, we want to keep birth order somewhat, in the ...Yes, we want to keep birth order somewhat, in the sense that our oldest always be the oldest. We have said we want to take in children under 6, since our oldest is 6. Once we start getting placements, that may change, I'm not sure. We will find out in June whether our license has gone through.<br /><br />I'm looking for other foster parents to follow as we move into this new chapter in our lives. I would love to follow your journey, if you don't mind. =)<br /><br />AshleyMommy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970863651571623082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181450402630174309.post-41560191480631542162009-05-13T11:28:00.000-07:002009-05-13T11:28:00.000-07:00Hi!

When we started fostering, we only wanted infants (under 12 months) but were told essentially in our area that would be pretty much impossible. Here, family usually steps up for the little ones. So we upped our age limit to 3 and under, and ended up getting a 2 year old for 3 days and then this last placement. We wanted to keep birth order at all times, so we wanted kids younger than our youngest two. I want to wish you luck in your journey!!Crystal Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07394382243740184617noreply@blogger.com
