After reaching a time in my life when my children are getting older and making plans for college, I find myself faced with empty nest syndrome. The thought of a quiet house makes me sad. My home has been filled with the sounds of children for twenty two years. I wake up to the sound of giggles and laughter as they are preparing for school. Although my children are grown and heading out on their own, my home can still be a safe haven for other children who need my nurturing . I am looking into the foster parent program not only to offer my love and compassion to needy children, but also to help myself through this difficult time in my life as well. This could be a perfect solution to not only my situation, but also change the life of a child who finds themselves in a situation that is unhealthy for a child to live in. I will receive all the necessary training and instruction before a child is placed in my home. I will have someone to call who will help me if there are ever any problems that I need help with. I think foster care is right for me.
