I think this is a great thing for you to do but I warn you that 3 or 4 kids (any age) is a lot of work. Much harder than any normal type job, and it runs from sunup till sundown. your significant other must totally be onboard too since this is not something that can be done alone. The advantages are that with several chidren at a time, once you get them established in a routine they can help each other a little bit but it is truly very hard work.
The rewards? Helping young people grow up to be healthy responsible adults is the reward, seeing someone triumph over whatever tragedy placed them in your care is what you recieve. For some this is more than enough.
How easy or difficult this will be for you to start is totally dependant on the programs and systems in place in the state where you live.
if you have specific questions don't hesitate to email me direct monk_ooo@yahoo.com, put fostercare in the subject line.

i am a work in progress but i pay close attention to everything. I feel it is a good thing to share the knowledge i have acquired in my travels to anyone asking and it brings me pleasure to do so. i have lived in California, Alaska, Idaho, and New Mexico and been married and divorced. I have no children of my own but have fostered several .
