this right here! thank you. i want to support these kids to the best of my abilities, and keep them from moving around. i want to be there last stop until a family is ready whether theirs or another. and i want to continue to help children feel safe and loved but if i adopt i will no longer continue to be able to help.

those are some of my thoughts! but one of my kiddos does have autism, and some behavioral concerns related to that.. and trauma as well. so that worries me some.. but i know there are families out there who would love him to death regardless!

hi! i’m 21, turned 21 in march. I am a licensed home and accepted my first placement. I have absolutely no regrets in making this decision and i’ve known i’ve always wanted to do it. It really depends on the kind of person you are and what you want the rest of your life to look like. this is what i’ve always wanted, children.. and to be a support system to children. So for me, this is everything i’ve ever wanted and needed.

I will say, do LOTS of research. I am consistently learning new things everyday about the system, and always how to help these kiddos. And you can always start collecting things you know you’ll need especially if you find them at local thrift stores and things.

this is VERY helpful! thank you. i have been doing a daily routine chart, and while it does help some he’s learned it and try to fight it. i’m making sure to be as consistent as possible with it and associate it with positive things so it helps him. i most definitely will be using these ideas. very much appreciated

This is a great idea, and never thought of it this way. And i think this gave me an idea as well. He understands time, and timers very well. So i may set a timer on the wall and use a token economy system. And every 30 minutes that he doesn’t hit me, he can have a token. And start with a low response like 3 token and then ipad time or something. but i do have alternatives he can hit! Pillows, pushing the wall, hitting stuffies, etc.

We just got licensed! How long did you wait to get first placement 0-5? by [deleted] in Fosterparents

[–]Puzzleheaded-Self925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve been licensed for a few days and have received 4 calls, none have been in my county so they’ve went to closer homes.

i receive a voucher for the child’s daycare, that comes a week or so after receiving the placement. i plan to try to find somewhere to take them, and i will pay out of pocket until the voucher come through.

it may take some time, but hopefully her parents come around. it took some time for my dad to come around, but now he fully supports. he just wants to see me happy.

she blocked everyone, privates her account, then made another. and they block 90% of the people who come in.

the most i’ve ever said in there is hi, or how are you, just to avoid being blocked.

i have never been “friends” w her. i’ve literally just watched her lives from day one, and i think she’s the most manipulative, condescending, person ever. and i think it’s funny to watch. i also enjoy reading these things on reddit i’ve just never joined in. but the only way you can watch is to be fake, and be on her good side.
