Hi, there isn't a foster parent board, so I thought I'd come here. Hope you guys don't mind. My girlfriend and I are kinship fostering my 7 yr old brother, we have for 2 years now. We're not sure if we're going to move ahead with adopting him or not. We're expecting our first baby June 21st, and we're pretty sure if we do it will be after our baby is born. Being a father figure to my younger brother is awkward at times but it's a lot better than our dad being MIA. I think he's well adjusted to our life so far, and I'm glad.
Welcome! There are lots of other foster parents on this board, so you've come to the right place. You might be the first guy to venture over here, but don't let that stop you.
I'm not sure, I'm pretty sure they haven't signed their rights over yet. I don't know if his mother would, but I know our father doesn't give a *** about either one of us, he'd sign in a heartbeat.
Welcome to the board!! We have a bunch of foster parents on here and I believe some people that have done kinship adoption as well. I'm glad that your brother is doing well and congratulations on your first baby

Welcome to the board. There are quite a few FP on this board.
Is your brother free for adoption? Have they TPR the bio parents? I think it is great you are giving him a stable life.
Mother of two wonderful boys! Blessed through adoption.
