Hi ladies; just wanted to introduce myself as my dh & I are moving forward with plans to foster/adopt. I have been lurking here for a few weeks & have already learned so much. After a year & a half ttc we have decided to forgo further if treatments & focus on fostering/adoption. I am 35, went through 5 cycles of Clomid, 1 iui & have never been pregnant. All testing (as well as dh sa) has come back normal. I feel very strongly that fostering/adoption is the path we are supposed to take at this time in our lives. We are attending a meeting about foster care Tuesday night after seeing an article in the local paper about a need for foster homes in our area. After internally thinking about taking this step & praying on it....how could I not take that article as a sign:) Foster to adopt is where we are going to start; I am trying to mentally prepare for the high probability of having several children come through our home. I do believe that our child(ren) is out there somewhere & we will be united as a family. I have enjoyed reading some of your stories about your adoption journeys;  but have specifically been inspired by the foster to adopt ones. Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes to you all!!
Foster to adopt process started 8/2012:)

    Welcome to the board. We are on a similar path to you. Good Luck Tuesday. :)

    My advice is know in the process they are good at talking about the worst case scenarios.  To me that is something that has been interesting.

    Welcome!  My advice is to ask as many questions as you can.  Fostering is a crazy world that I feel like it is hard at first to wrap your arms around it.  This board is a great resource!
