So I've always wanted to foster ever since I can remember. The feeling has only grown since I had my own Daughter who is now 2.1
I am currently expecting baby no.2 and in an ideal world I would love to start fostering later in life when my children are that bit older and I can fully devote myself to it.
HOWEVER, my partner of 7 years has no interest in fostering at all and has said it's an absolutely no go for us. I can't help but feel gutted and like I'm being deprived of something I so long for. On the other hand I completely understand that there is no point trying to persuade him as something like this needs to be a 100% joint decision.
So, that brings me here where I would like to ask if anybody knows if there is anything else I can do to help with the fostering process? Some kind of job role that can kind of be a compromise for me?
It might sound so silly but there's always comments in my local paper and on the radio crying out for foster carers and it makes me feel so sad.
