Question: We have two boys, ages 10 and 12. We’ve been told that if we become a foster family, the foster children will have to have a room to themselves. Our boys can share a room for another year, but then we want to separate them. Can we just foster for one year? How long do foster kids usually stay?

Resources:

  • Becoming a Foster Parent
  • Raising Foster Children
  • Working with Birth Parents for the Child's Best Interest
