I am a foster mom, and have been for the past 11 months.  I am the foster mother of a 12 month old boy, he is the most terrific baby.  I am in the process of adopting him.  He was born addicted to cocaine and has had a few problems, and I do not know what the future will hold for us, but I am willing to do this for my child.  He has been going to physical therapy for seven months and finaly learned to crawl, he has also been evaluated by our local infant learning center, I am very fortunate that I live in a community that supports early intervention for developmental delays.  Because I have made this life long decision to take care of this child, I have decided to go back to college and get a degree in early childhood development, so that I can be better prepared for what difficulties may lie ahead. My goal for the future is to help other foster parents that are faced with the challenges that I have and provide them with support.
