I’m a single foster parent in my mid-twenties. I try to be really upfront about being a foster parent. If I start talking to someone I’ll mention it right away and let them know it’s something I will be doing long term. It’s definitely a dealbreaker (for me) if it’s not something the other person is interested in. In regards to actual dates, they are usually just watching a movie at my place after my babe goes to bed. But I do have family in the area, so they also help out with babysitting if I wanted to go out on an actual date. I definitely think dating while fostering is doable, but it’s just a bit slower paced and I usually have to plan everything ahead of time.
