I would like to be a Foster parent and I find it rewarding to help another child that truly needs your help. I am in Los Angeles, CA and I do not know where to start in this vast community of uncertainty. I see alot everyday and want to put myself i…
BTW, I may sound like a broken record, but I am very much interested in networking with foster/adoptive parents or soon to be. I think there needs to be a concerted effort by African Americans that are interested in becoming foster/adoptive parents…
I am not one yet but I do plan to become one very soon. But yes, I agree with you not many black people become foster parents. Many of us really need to step up and become both foster parents and adoptive parents to our children. Everyone else seems…
Hi Babydoll! Thank you so much for your response. My husband and I are also licensed foster parents. Our nephew will be going home soon, but we have decided to continue fostering other youth. One thing I have learned is that you have to be in consta…
Thanks for the reply. Yes Oregon is just like Kansas when it come to the disproportionate amount of African American children in foster care. In my opinion there seems to be a shortage of African American Foster care providers also. It seems that th…
Thank you Surisa. It is nice to hear from others out there that can relate. I just checked out the site you recommended ( found it as www.fostercarecentral.org ) Anyway so far the site is very informative. It has been a frustrating road at times but…
Good Morning. Thanks for the response. Support indeed is what I need. Sometimes it can be quite lonely. In Oregon there appears to be a shortage of AA Foster Parents so a chat group would be a great idea! How long have to you been a Foster Parent?

Joyce said… - Hello Olena, Thank you for the hair comment, it took me about 9 month to a year before my hair really locked - so hang in there. You will find that with a new baby it will be great to not have to worry about doing your hair :-) I have been looking for about 4 years now.
We do have a little in common with the children thing. My son is 14 years older then my daughter and it's very interesting now after 8 years. My son is back home from college and having both of them in the house at the same time is really different for me, during high school he lived in CT and then went to college in NY so now that he is home my daughter who was his biggest fan is now the pain in the neck little sister I knew she would one day be :-)
Have a great day and let's keep in touch.
