[blindkid] Any other foster parents out there?

[Brandy W., with Discovery Toys]

I'm hopeful as she asked me a few questions, was happy with my answers, and
has thanked me for being so proactive and honest. They have approved a
family where one of the parents was in a wheel chair, and a deaf father so
hopefully I have some leaders ahead of me.

Honestly if they give me any problems I'll fight because I meet every
requirement and then some so it would definitely be blindness.

For now I have no feeling that this will be a problem. There are only 3
licensors in the agency and I've spoken to the lead person.

Thanks and experiences good and bad are always welcome.

Bran

I hope this works for you and that you don't see the beast rear its ugly
head as many of us blind parents have met for fostering or domestic
adoption.

Hi, As many of you know I've provided child care, and tutored for many many
years. Well now I'm applying to be a foster parent. The agency I've chose
has been super excepting of my blindness. I've filled out all the paper work
and everything looks pretty strait forward especially since my home is
already completely ready for children.



Just wondered if there were others out there who were successful or not
successful and if you'd share your stories.





Thanks,



Bran
