Well,I'll share my expeirence,my name Talia(ta-lee-a) and I'm 13 years old.I've been in and out of Foster homes since the age of nine.I've gotten pretty used to it.My parents ran away when I was 8 1/2 and I lived with my aunts and uncles but they couldn't support me or themselves.So now I am in a foster home.Share you ideas.

I plan on becoming a foster mother once I'm older and settle down. I want to take care of less fortunate kids first before I bring my own children into the already over-populated planet.
There are orphaned kids out there, homeless, and I want to help them, give them love and care their parents, under various circumstances, may not have been able to give them.

I think by becoming a foster family for someone out there, you're doing an incredibly generous thing, and there are plenty of kids that have been adopted into homes, which saved them from spending their childhood in adoption centers. A permanent home is probably a lot more preferrable than moving from foster home to foster home.

^^ I think what you plan to do is a very good thing and any child that gets you as a mother will be very blessed.

I wouldn't see it as less-fortuante, I just see as being put up to a challenge.

I diffently know where your coming from when you mean moving to foster home after another.two words-It Sucks!I hate it beyond belief.

I agree with you. Why bring more kids into this world when there's already thousands of kids out in the world who need a place to live or a family? But, I know that if I foster a child, and they find a home for him, I'd probably be too attached to let go and it would hurt me.
