Overwhelmed with choosing the right foster care placements: Top tips on choosing the best age and number of placements for you as a foster parent.

It's the biggest first decision that every potential foster and adoptive parent makes, and it sets the trajectory for the beginning of your journey. It absolutely matters. Have you ever wondered if there was a right number of kiddos you should take in as a first-time foster parent? Have you wondered what age range to choose, or should you be open to all ages? Is there a right number and if so, how do I know?  Maybe you're already a foster parent and haven't had a child placed with you that is on the path towards adoption. Do you take in more children? How do you know when the right time is to add another child? It can be an overwhelming decision when you aren't sure who to ask. If you're anything like I was, you're ready and eager to begin the journey of foster care and adoption.   If you have had or have these questions, this episode is perfect for you. We will talk about statistics with each age group, time requirements for first time foster parents and appointments you want to set up for your new foster child.    If you found this episode helpful, I would love for you to leave me a review on the app that you found me on.
