Foster Parent

I have decided, or rather re-remembered, that I want to be a foster parent.

I've actually set a timeline for myself, because otherwise I'll either never do it, or do it too soon.  Best to begin mentally preparing myself now.  I want to start the actually process when I'm 27.  Yeah, that a wide window, but I'm a Gemini--best to give myself 12 months wiggle room.  Haha, which means I'm beginning now of course!  :P

I researched te WA state guidelines and they seem straightforward enough.  And of course that means it's overly simplifying everything.  I do need three personal references though, and I have my eyes set on folks already. It really is never too soon to plan for these things.

Next I just need to find a real job and get into a real housing situation.

Stable was supposed to go after the word real in the former sentence.  Real *stable job. Real *stable housing situation.

During that phase of stabilisation, I'll be figuring out which age range I'm interested in. Right now, I'm in love with 5-year olds, and that might change.  I just know there will be nary a diaper in my house, I think eight years of diaper changing was enough....

But then, that might change too.  :)
