Did I tell you how it went when Mike and I tried to start the process of becoming foster parents? We were told we were ideal, that they were going to skip steps to make us foster parents sooner, loved our house and told us that we needed to get finger printed. Yet they forgot to tell us where we needed to go to do that. Nor did my three emails requests for the information get replied to. But, two months later, I get an email from the head of the specialized foster care community we were going with asking me if I was still interested and why didn't I get finger printed yet? No acknowledgement or apology for ignoring my emails. The organization was so poorly ran and it was a tragedy because they dealt with abused children who really needed families. I agree that the government can make it difficult and incredibly stressful to adopt and/or foster. Yet it wouldn't be as difficult if people who ran the orphanages did a better job and were better organized. There is no way we can be foster parents for a center that only make it more difficult with there ineptitude. No one should have kids unless it's what they want. I hate hate hate it when people have kids because other people they know are having kids or they think that it's the next step in their lives, whether they are ready for it or not. A lot of times I see people having kids before they are ready as a way to distract them from dealing with the fact that the person they are involved with might not be right for them. There should be a five year period that you are required to live with the person you want to procreate with. If you can't tolerate living with a person for that long you should not have kids.
