Jesus Christ!!!! It’s stories like these that further solidifies why I see my self as a foster parent and eventually adopting.

@@lallred1911 I did go through a lot of trauma, but I know people who have went through worse than me.

@@cristyluv1205 I'm glad you are able to Foster children. All kids need love, a lot will probably act out and be defiant because of past trauma. (that's how I was). Don't give up on them no matter how much they push you! It takes strong people to love people who have been through trauma.

Samee

Me too

Make sure you are developed enough mentally to even parent. Parenting isn’t a game or joke. It’s the real deal. Make sure your life is stable and you have your ish together before bringing someone else into your life. That includes safety with family and friends.

I started fostercare when I was 23. I am 63 now . We fostered 60 and adopted 10. My memoir is " The Will of a Wildflower". It is a recommended reading for social work students interested in working in child welfare.

I feel that, I’m 19 and when I hit 21 my army contract ends and I wanna foster.

Find a family that you can babysit for and shadow daily life.

None of you are developed enough mentally to even parent. Parenting isn’t a game or joke. It’s the real deal. Make sure your life is stable and you have your ish together before bringing someone else into your life. That includes safety with family and friends.

​@catherinesigurdson4189 this is a great idea

It's not really that young. I did it when I was 5. I didn't really have a choice, but it comes easy with practice.

I know...that IS the hardest part of fostering. What helps me is to think about it this way - I am a home that can be safe for this kid and help him/her weather this really tough situation until they go home. You still make a tremendous impact and you do it for them :)

@@Lucrecebundy true, I'm really thinking about foster to adopt.

@@Lucrecebundy i just watched that video you posted aboout the difference between fostering & foster-adopt.

I have kids who love other kids, like immediately Their attachment also concerns me

Its is hard, very hard and it rips your heart out when they leave or reject you. Yet it is hard cause everything that is worth it is hard. And think about how hard life is for the kids. Nothing compared to how we as Foster parents feel.

Yea because you mfs get PAID to have those children despite the fact that they’ve been ripped from their children’s lives!!

That's amazing!

I started at 23.

Am interested in learning about becoming a foster parent. I jist had my firstborn and am in graduate school so idk how soon id be able to foster a child...i just want to start learning bc this is heavy on my heart.

Wow that's amazing! That's very much needed!

Not all of them. In my area there are some terrible foster carers and I’m taking my previous carer to court

Good luck I'm a foster kid been in 7 homes and u should really watch a video on the kids side and how they see things

@@lorankimani7319 thank you for sharing... that is great advice! And im sure many aspiring foster parents would benefit from really understanding and empthizing with those the foster child feels coming into a strangers home.

@@Tyler_Bundy You also got to think about what the kids been through. Some have been abused, raped , molested , abandoned and ect...Your welcome by the way.

@@lorankimani7319 are you allowed to have your cell phone in foster care?

I fostered 60 and adopted 10.

Absolutely!

Remember it can go both ways. I dislike the way you’re dehumanising the foster kids by saying they’re “damaged for life”. It’s honestly disgusting. You should probably think about it from the other perspective too. My previous foster cater had a adopted from birth daughter, and she was always number one out of the kids. Do you understand how damaging that can be? I don’t think you’d ever understand how the foster kids in your household felt, and I don’t think that foster parents should also have bio kids. You’re household was the exception, not the rule. I felt so invisible, like a spare part and a source of money

Aw dude- I'm really sorry all that stuff happened to you. That is NOT ok. Your insight, is actually very, very good, and honestly, quite true. I myself, will be going into the system, with two siblings soon, if all goes well, and I came to this video, to know what to expect. I appreciate your insight, you've made some very good points, and I genuinely hope stuff gets better in life. Thank you for trying to help other people.

@@soaringspirits2267 thankyou for your message. I really hope it helps and you will have a better time then I do. Watch yourself and your siblings. Talk to eightother when your parents can. And nomatter what things do get better in the end

@@korstiaanakse1 Aw mate, you really are too sweet. Thank you for the reply. :] Please excuse me if I read it wrong, but we're actually all hoping for adoption, as our parents are both rather awful. But! But! My siblings and I should remain a trio, near guaranteed, and our communication is awesome. 👍 Truly, it will. Thank you for your kindness, be safe out there, and I hope you have a lovely week. (And beyond!)

dont do it

LOL!

From what I know you have to have a prescription. You don't have to ask the case worker as long as a Dr has signed off and you have PROOF. Because they will ALWAYS ask for a paper trail.

Nebraska. And yes I agree...it's different from state to state

If you can, try to foster older kids too. Mostly only babies can find homes and older kids are unwanted

That fear is what keeping so many kids in foster care. We can't control the future of the kids, we just have to do what we can today with what we know. We know there are thousands of kids who need help, so we help them even if that means it might break your heart if they leave your home.

@@Lucrecebundy well it's not for me I could barely deal with rehoming my cats

@@dinayansane7524it’s not about YOU, it’s about the KIDS, that’s what this lady was trynna say, but somehow you still made it about urself🤦🏾‍♂️☠️

I'm assuming enough to pay all of your own expenses, but I'm curious too

Well you typically have to be able to take care of yourself. But my guess is that every foster care agency has their own requirements.

the unspoken rule is "your money should not be spent on your foster kids" but a lot of the time you want to buy little extras for that foster child. And they only give you enough money for the child's expenses, and if you do it correctly there will NOT be a penny left over for your personal stuff. So fostering is not profitable but it is moral and a fantastic thing to do.

I know.

Hello! It would be best to speak with an attorney in your state because state laws differ when it comes to foster care. If you have a foster child, my guess is that there is still a case open for that child in juvenile court and there are already lawyers involved. You will want to speak with an attorney who is experienced with the juvenile court system in your state to get some help.

@@Lucrecebundy no it’s for my one year old. I want to finish her adoption. I have permanent custody but no one is getting back to me :(

@@teischamarievlogs5968 Oh ok. I could help you if you lived in Nebraska...unfortunately only an attorney licensed in your state can assist you with the adoption.

no

Nebraska.

Thank you

Learn a marketable skill so you can support yourself and find your own way in life. I wish you the best!

Listen kid, you’re not going to die and I’ll tell you exactly how to get a real family and be taken care of for the rest of your life. Join the US Army, best decision I ever made. Lots of aged out foster kids do this, one of my best friends who’s a veteran was a faster kid and he was a signal soldier, he helps me with securing my communication and it’s a really good option. It’s not as tough physically as it was when I was in around 2010. And the NCO’s have to be nicer to you. But you’ll get a family, your NCO’s and Officers will be your parents, you’ll have a lot of big brother and big sisters who are specialists and they’ll look out for you and probably buy beer for you before you turn 21 lol. They (NCO’s and Officers) actually are supposed to care about you believe it or not, it’s in the training and indoctrination. You’ll be a specialist in three years which means NCOs and Officers can’t fuck with you as much and then after that you’ll be a junior NCO and it will be your job to care about some 18 year old kid, you’ll be about 22 24 or so maybe 27 if your MOS doesn’t rank up fast or you’re lazy or bad at the job somehow, which is no big deal plenty of bad soldiers out there make it to retirement these days of perpetual deployments every ten or twelve years or so. And the likely hood of dying is .65% here’s the math if you care about it in parentheses if not just skip it (Total deaths since Vietnam: Approximately 65,302 Total Army enlistments since Vietnam: An estimate of millions if we assume total enlistment figure of 10 million since Vietnam, the very rough estimate would be: (65,302 / 10,000,000) * 100=.65%) The other thing that’s cool besides the free college, the life long free medical care from the VA, is that society generally accepts that after an army career you become disabled and literally everyone who joins unless they’re stupid and don’t pursue this benefit get what’s called a disability rating from the Va, you’ll at bare minimum get like 50% and that’s 1200 bucks a month for nothing other than not getting kicked out for committing some kind of felony. It’s very easy to get 100% service connection disability which is 3600 a month so you don’t have to work if you don’t want to and you live a sort of humble ish life. When I say that it’s really not that humble like you can still live in a city just not NYC if LA you can still eat at restaurants sometimes just not super fancy ones more like diners and such, you can even buy a significant amount of weed and alcohol if you want you’re not gonna drive a Mercedes at least a good one but you’ll have a car you can drive back and fourth across the country with a few times, might even be able to support a girlfriend that doesn’t work really if you’re smart with your finances and that’s just if you don’t want to work. Me and that foster kid who aged out and joined the army are doing all that without working. So in summation, you’re about to go on the most thrilling adventure of your life, sign up as soon as you can, the army is one of those things the younger you join the more you will get out of it. I wish you luck it’s not as scary as it sounds, best decision I ever made.

Hey man, I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this. I’m being fostered in the UK so I’m lucky at the end of the day. Is there anyone you can talk to at all? Like teachers maybe?

YOU'RE SUCH A BAD PERSON

Thank you! She’s not fooling anybody

@@mmalithefather1472if a child is removed from a good home it’s a crime. From a drug addicted alcoholic or abusive home…it’s probably a blessing and time/wake up call for that parent to get their shit in order.

I know.

😢

All the way down to the painted sign. Didn’t you learn not to plagiarize in law school?

Hi Rebecca, I have worked in foster care for years and everything in my videos is from my own experience. If there is another youtube channel that has the same content, that's great. I am glad the information is going out to people

@@Lucrecebundy yea is it a coincidence that you mentioned everything with the same order with somebodyelse. It is disrespectful to their afford

Rebecca, yup noticed the same thing. Exactly the same points and added extra little tips. No credit given to the original video. Terrible.

@@Lucrecebundy everything in the video might be from your experience. But you've copied the structure and points directly from someone else's channel and taken their content without crediting them. You can make a video based on someone else's content but you do need to credit Zero2Five at the start. I'm not playing the 'oh it's just by chance' game. Stop lying and just credit them.

I am so sorry you had such a bad experience!

That’s what tf you get for trying to STEAL a child from their REAL families!! Go to hell!

I’m really sorry that you feel that way, but honestly you sound weak if you believe these things are worse than helping the kids is amazing
