We fostered and then adopted a sibling group of five in 2017. Along the way we learned a few tips and tricks that we hope will help and encourage others.
1. Keep a stash of clothes handy. Sometimes they actually come with nothing. After our first placement, we started hitting up thrift stores, sale racks, garage sales, anywhere we could find nice clothes for cheap.
3. Most of the time, kids will get to visit with family and parents at least once a week. This is incredibly traumatic for both the kids and their parents and sometimes they will take it out on you. We saw behaviors like biting, snarling, crying, anger, and generally not being able to be consoled after parent visits. This is totally understandable, please be sympathetic.
5. Foster care requires a steep time commitment. You are needed for doctors appointments, immunizations, dental appointments, school meetings, parent meetings, team meetings, and the list goes on and on. If you are working full time, it is possible to foster! It will require sacrifice but if you are up front with your employer, they are usually very supportive.
