i’m only 12 but i really want to be a foster parent i already know a lot about it but ya ik it’s hard but i really hope i can be a foster parent

I went to catholic school and one of our teachers (they are nuns) was in her 60s and was a foster parent for like 20+ years. She’d come in some mornings and be like “I’m sorry if I’m tired today I got a newborn yesterday who’s having drug withdrawals.” Or something and man she gave me major respect for foster parents. Especially working ones. God bless y’all.

This blog is totally helping me ,planning on being a foster mom...

Foster showers or adoption showers should totally be a thing. It doesn't matter if a child is biological or not.

I am so loving this chapter of your life

Wow, that sounds like an exhausting day! Thank you for all you do to provide a loving home for these precious little ones.

You are an angel sent from above for these little ones ❤️

Omg i loved that end bit you added. Little giggles when dog smooches in her face. 😍😍😍

I whish you and your new foster child the very best! Praying for you all!

How wonderful! The kids will love life in your care. You are so nurturing

Oh my goodness, you are so strong! Good job foster mama! You can do it

Hi, hope you are all well. I was a carer for the local authority for 23years. I loved it and if not for my poor health I would still be a carer today. You reminded me how chaotic the first 24 hours was. I didn't have any babies, I had a little boy 5years old but his was 3year old and had A.D.H.D and learning difficulties. He stayed with me until he was 19years old. 15 years of really hard work. I tended to have teenagers, a good experience, i know the inside of court rooms, and police stations. As the years went by there were more paper work to do . Each child had there own book and they had to be filled in every evening. But enjoyed those 23 years. Keep safe and love and hugs to you all from Swansea South Wales U.K. ❤🌷❤🎊❤🌷❤

What a whirlwind 24 hours! I hope things calmed down for you guys. I think something all parents can agree on is when it comes to children, you have to be super flexible because things hardly ever go as planned! It was difficult for me to adjust to that because I’m a planner and control freak by nature. Sending you and the girls hugs 💞

Love seeing you as a mommy! It's such an honor to provide a safe loving home to a child (biological or other) isn't it? Such a Blessing.

I'm 13 now but ever since I found a KZfaq channel where they adopt children and fostered some I've always wanted to be a foster mom or adopt kids. I was 7-9 when I found them and now since I'm getting closer and closer to 18 I'm working on figuring out what job I want so i can get that job get a house and do whatever I have to do be a foster mom :D

Bless you sweet hear!!! I'm former foster youth and I thank you!!!!

So happy I found your channel I am also a foster parent . I can relate to what you are saying.

I love how you did her hair! So cute!

You are such a wonderful mama!

Hi, I am a foster mom too. Thanks for all you do!

I have a very close friend who wants to be a foster parent, and I was curious about foster care. You are a saint so sweet!

Love this! You are an amazing mama! ❤️❤️

I got my 1st placement about 3 1/2 months ago. He is a 7 year old D rate it’s been really tough. But he’s coming along. He came with so little. But we’ve been able to get him what he needs. I have room for 1 more child, but I really want to focus on the little one first & get him the help he needs.

I want to be a foster parent so bad!

It's a beautiful way to grow 💗 We have a fixer upper home ❤ our goal is to get everything up to code so that we can be foster parents. Please say a prayer that we will get there and soon 💛

Good job not showing foster kids face you are teaching so much more😊

So excited for you! I have a 4 year old and a 17 month old so I know the chaos.

How is that little girl so comfortable and not scared out of her mind?

New subscriber 💚🙌🏾So happy I found your Channel. I’m a new and recently licensed foster momma.

Our new baby we picked up from the hospital last week. Luckily we have organization here that donates tons of stuff to foster children. Maybe you can look for an organization to pickup some items for the children

Just found your channel and subscribed , looks like you’re a wonderful foster mom these kids are very lucky so long may it last 👑

One of our foster placements came with the clothes she had on a a pillow case with 6 pieces of clothing. All of which was 2 sizes too small. We were given a voucher for clothes and diapers/wipes. The only reason she even had a car seat is because I had one.

I jumped into this video, like it was a lake on a hot summer day! 🤭😩

After our baby #4 we plan to do foster care and hope to adopt ☺️ I’m glad I found your channel!!

such great info

Chaotic, stressful, and busy. Lol that’s how I describe the first 24 hours. We have 3 young ones!

It’s really smart that you didn’t give her a dresser, little one’s really love to climb on them and it can be unsafe.

I'm in the UK and when I had my children I didn't have a baby shower or anything. Worth saying you don't have to buy absolutely everything brand new x

That is amazing what you are doing for these girls! Your an amazing woman! 😊

i feel like if one of my foster parents had done something like this i wouldn't have liked it at all. although i was a bit older when i was in the system (between 7 and 10), but the idea of a foster parent documenting my life like this and then sharing it publicly would have been extremely weird for me. ESPECIALLY if it was my first day with them. being in a new home is already scary on its own.

Girls are so much fun.

Thank you for sharing this video with us! I got tired just watching you do everything that you did in just that 24 hours! You mentioned still needing items for your placements that come in. Is there any way you can share your PO Box with all of us? I'm sure many of us have clothes or toys that you could use, diapers you will need or even gift cards. Please let us help you on your journey, as you have helped so many of us with your determination and motivation to keep going even in the darkest of times. You haven't asked for help, but I know many of us want to. Love you and your channel!!!!

I’m only 15 and I want to foster really bad! I’ve wanted to foster since I was like 13 and I’ve started buying stuff with my own money that will help me when I’m older so I go to once upon a child when they have big sales and buy clothes and stuff in a little of every size and both genders exc I know a lot about foster care, dos and don’ts and plan to start the training process when I turn 21 as that’s the minimum age ❤️ I love helping people and really want to foster. 🙂

I plan to foster to adopt when I’m older !

How does funding work for foster care in your state? I believe where I live there is a stipend available for the foster parents each month, but obviously it barely takes care of the most basic needs for the babes. ❤️

Sounds like our foster son. He came with 2 shirts, 1 pair of pants and 1 pair of too small pajamas. No diapers, wipes, or any other clothes. We had to start over 🙈

How do you recommend getting doctors apts set up so quickly? In my area at least, when I was on Medicaid myself (student teaching, only insurance available at that time) no where was accepting new patients using Medicaid. Do you find more options are available for kiddos in the system because of the 24hr need?

I love this ! 😩❤️ Where did you get your sweater?!

I just found your channel! I follow another foster care channel too called Be The Village

When we were foster parents we were reimbursed for everything we had to buy for the child. Only extra expenses we had were for anything she wouldn’t be keeping like furniture

Hi there! I love your Chanel! As a car seat specialist I have to recommend that you please consider getting better car seats for these cuties! Cosco is one of the worst car seat brands.

I appreciate this video so much. We just got licensed last week so the call could come anytime! I think we are probably the same age range as you are, 0-5. I just slammed the subscribe button so hard and can't wait to see more videos! Question, how many kids are you approved for at a time and what is your age range?

I did not have a baby shower for my child. I had to get everything myself. Lots of others do too. It’s not as easy as being given everything but we make do.

Do they tell you what doctor to go to? Why did you need to buy blackout curtains?

Do you have to pay for the stuff or do the foster care pay

We are hoping to become foster parents soon. I’ve been talking to a few friends who have been for a while and was told to ask on your neighborhood page for clothes. Most people will give them for free or a low price.

❤️

Can you imagine how hard that must be for her To go from one place to the next.

Im a foster mom🥰

You have the prettiest eyes I have ever seen.

Does your county not give a clothing stipen for the foster child? I'm from Hawaii and the foster children would get a clothing stipen. So the foster parent could go and buy clothes for the child.

So you don’t get to just stay at home with her? Tough for you and for her. Grateful for our system where carers are compensated for lost income to be at home for a while (months at least) to focus on new placements.

Jesus Loves you! God Loves every child and is using you to take care of those children. God sent His Only Begotten Son to die on a cross so we can live and not perish but have eternal life. God is Good and His blessing are amazing So i encourage you to read The Holy Bible, and Pray and ask God for Guidance. I plan on praying for y’all today!

Does not the state pay you to take foster kids in?

Hello I am a mother who needs a foster mom for my children how would I go about getting that

I’m a foster mom in WI. Do you not have a foster closet to go shop for free stuff or a group in your area that foster parents share stuff? We have been foster parents for 5 years and have never had to run to the store to get clothing. we just ask on our groups or people in our community donate to us. We are very lucky I guess. Also, do you not have a clothing allowance?

Maybe you should let her have the cup help her find it

I’m just curious what is the black out curtain for?

I didn't know you were adopting 2!!! Girls I'm assumimg??? Congratulations!!!! Will we ever get to meet them??

overwinded . . admirable presentation altogether . . . . perhaps have explained why the instance of a foster care appeal in your person . . . . I will definitely subscribe and watch . . . . though as of yet it's painted pink .. plus you didn't include Levi at all .... the impression upon me is that are a single woman out to accomplish a greatest act of charity ....!

Please adopt them they are perfect

Does foster care give you a few $$ to show you have worked regarding social security? If you did it fill time? You have given a lot of energy, time and cost.

Hun, I know u were tired but how much would it have taken to at least take her clothes OFF & wipe her off real quick? I know it was a long day but that would have taken u ten minutes max. 2020? was still the very beginning of the pandemic on top of that. smh I don't want to come off as bashing u, just pointing it out. Thanks for Sharing!

Lol nobody probably noticed but when u said go get u said your Lil girls name bot miss a u probably wouldn't noticed until now we know miss a name

Guess I’m not understanding? Is it all about the money you have to spend? It’s all I’m hearing

I just wanna let you know you CANNOT share any pics or videos or Names of your foster children in ANY state. Might wanna re edit ✍️

As a foster parent for 6 years and now adoptive mom of 2, I find this video incredibly disturbing. Instead of focusing on the child, bonding with her and giving her her undivided attention, this foster parent is busy making a youtube video for complete strangers. This is not how it should be.

I hope the babies that are fostered haven’t been wrongfully removed from their birth parents care.

I dont want to be rude but for sure you had to know that you where going to need to buy things for those kids in need, I feel too much disappointment because you complaining abou it. Why did you put yourself in that situation if you where not ready to give those kids what they need. Look for things with family and friend to be prepare nex time when another kid arrive, have clothes, shoes toys storage, and keep doing it to have a new thing when those kids leave with what you gave them. It is easy, less mony and you will be prepare for any age any time. Everything is a caos for you !!!!!. It is horrible to hear it

Bc of my own personal experience currently I will be unsubscribing from your channel. I don't approve of the whole foster parent thing through CPS. Not your fault but some counties are a crooked and corrupt organization to be involved with. You honestly have no idea what you've gotten yourself into with that and what actually goes on, on the other side of that situation and how much hell CPS puts people through. They will take people's children that don't actually need to be in care just to generate revenue then put them through hell, both the bio parents and the child that was placed in care. They are unethical and illegally ran. It reminds me of black market adoptions. The parents who had their children taken can go above and beyond what they're being asked to do to be reunified with their child and lie to the judge and say they haven't done anything they need to be doing to get their child back when in facy they have all these certificates from the numerous classes they've taken. The caseworker through the CD will make promises to the bio parents that if they accomplish this and that they can have unsupervised visits or that their children will be reunified and get to come home before the beginning of the next school year and as soon as the parents complete something the CD will back water on them and they won't keep their word. The Children's division will deliberately give the parents wrong times of court dates and FST meetings just to get the parents to miss and then look irresponsible or just plain not give them enough proper notice where they have adequate time to make other arrangements just in case the court date or fst meeting conflicted with another appt at that time on the day of. The children's division will manipulate and tell you one thing about the bio parent(s) and it won't be anything close to the truth. I wish you all the best. Good luck. I feel sorry for all the children that don't actually need to be in foster placement but are stuck there bc of all the dishonest deceitful things the caseworkers are trained to lie about the bio parents. It's absolutely disgusting and a sick situation to be in.
