Thanks Jen, I've been debating with my 60 year old self with fostering an older teen.... been wondering if I'm looney to be thinking about it; but, then I remember the kids I've met on the street who have aged out of the system....

Oh Tandi - If I could sit down to coffee with you, you would be able to look me in my eyes & I could tell you, with all honesty....It is NEVER too late!! I always think, "What will I regret more, the things I do do, or the things I don't do." Praying for His leading in your decision!

Thank you so much for this much needed information. I’ve been thinking about having really young children in my home but may consider older ones

[@Jen-FosteringFamily]

So glad you are considering having older kids! It can truly be so rewarding!
