Quote From: ilovedrphil26I am a 26 year old woman that has tried getting pregnant for 5 years... I was told i had pcod.. My hubby and I thought we would do foster care in hopes of adopting. It has its great rewards if you can let go when that child goes back home. My very first placement was a newborn. I picked her up at the hospital when she was 3 days old... I thank God everyday for her. about a week after i got her i was called about a little boy... We fell in love with him... I thought this was Gods way of giving me my family that i dreamed of since i was just a little girl... we where becoming that family we always wanted. You know the family that you are so jealous of b/c you would see them at parks laughing and playing. 6 months later he was taken, It broke me so bad, i layed in bed and cried for weeks cause not only did i have my dreams stolen away due to the pcod. but now i had to give up a piece of my heart too. So yeah foster care is a good thing.. I got the pleasure of being a mom to that precious little guy for 6 great months.... but you need to think of how it will make you feel when that child goes home... Some may be a lot stronger than me.. I just felt like i had my dreams in my hand and it slipped right out. If it wasnt for the baby girl i have I would have given up on life when they took him back.
They have a foster care program for only adoptable kids......... Most foster kids are in the system for a period of time till thier parents get it together... I wouldnt put my heart that deap until i knew absolutely knew i was going to keep my foster child, other than that you grow and get used to having to let them go home. Why dont you look into just the adoption kids??????
