I'm a licensed provider in Michigan. I'm wondering if anyone else has ever done foster care? My husband and I are considering it.
But I'm wondering if the foster child would affect my numbers? I really can't afford to give up a paying childcare spot. But we're feeling called to foster! I can only have 6 kids right now but if we got a foster child I would need to allowed to have 7 kids. We would want an older child (ages 5-7). So I guess during the school day they wouldn't be here but then that child would be here during summer and school breaks
I'm just looking for guidance. We feel called to foster care but I'm feeling hesitant about our ability to afford bringing in another child.
