I loved hearing about your experience. Really nice. My parents were foster parents for 10 years or so after us older kids had left home. My youngest brother was a foster child that my parents adopted.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17016439610436864684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-40250415993309974632011-06-10T18:05:38.284-04:002011-06-10T18:05:38.284-04:00Could mean so much for the kids, so if one can do ...Could mean so much for the kids, so if one can do it, it's a really, really good thing to do.

If you've got the time, the room, and the energy then I think it's a great idea.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698969349369789642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-29241661760090036342011-06-08T13:52:34.319-04:002011-06-08T13:52:34.319-04:00Sounds like a great program.

I myself was in foster homes and sometimes for only a few months. <br />I would have liked to have been staying with a family like yours.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-65550856630994090382011-06-07T23:51:10.988-04:002011-06-07T23:51:10.988-04:00I'd like to do this, but Mr.4444 is funny abou...I'd like to do this, but Mr.4444 is funny about that kind of thing--I've been working on him about accepting a foreign exchange student for years, but he says he doesn't want to give up his privacy.
