I agree with FrozeRightHere. Dude, babies and puppies, while both cute, are much different. Take it slow.

Fosters have “problems” because of what was done to them, but they have free therapy for these kids that you can get them into and personal attention and care work wonders, ive had family in foster care before and it was the best thing that could have happened and it did force the actual parent to shape up. read the series by Dave Pelzer “A Child Called It” “The Lost Boy” “A Man Named Dave” to get even a vague hint of what these kids go though and what they can act like before you decide.

So, I’m a wee bit older then u, 28, and have a 7 year old son of my own. Things happened in a way that I have been home for the last year and a half and would stay home for another 4 years. So I decided to foster kids for the time being because at this point in time I cannot have any biological kids. Got my licence, which is a whole different story, and the state gave me a 4 year old adorable little girl. I knew nothing of her past when she came into my home, but her story, as I found out later was that her dad sexually molested her. SOB went to all the required meetings and has been trying to get her back and it looks like he is going to. Emma is scared of him, she cries every time I have to take her for visitation and it breaks my heart to see her fear, yet the idiots at the State of Michigan feel that no matter how bad the biological parents are if they feel remorse for their actions and show improvement then they can get their kids back. In some cases, sure I see the point, but here, it is just plain wrong. The little girl hates him, he is a convicted pedofile and if she is to back to him I really think that the history would repeat itself. I am able to give her a good home, they are telling me now that I am too emotionally involved, but heck, they are trying to ruin this baby’s life and at this point I will do anything in my power to not get her reunited with that sick father of hers, thankfully money is not an object. I would like to adopt her if possible if not at least see her go to another good and happy home where she will be well cared for and not potentially put in harms way, yet the laws are not in my favor here. So Beet, if you get involved learn about the state laws before you face a situation like mine, as I would not wish this on the worst enemy.

My little guy is 5 now, I always told him not to squeak… no squeaky… no squeaky… which he quickly figured out not to squeak around me, which is funny, because once in a while I hear him going squeak crazy in the other room- which is all good with me!!!!!

It’s all in how you train them. He’s a great little guy, and obviously if he listens to you, all the better! Like…. get OFF of the dining room table!!!
hahaha!!!!!!!

Hey Beet – I agree with the posters above who mentioned the Big Sisters program – a friend of mine at work has a Little Sister and the little girl gets a lot out of their relationship.

What’s the rush Beet? I’m 29, I met my boyfriend 3 years ago and sometimes I feel like, “I’m going to be 30 soon! I need to have a baby now!” But really, this day in age, you’re hardly behind. Be patient and you will meet the man you deserve and have mini-Beets.

My dog looooves her squeakie toys and won’t play with them once the squeak breaks. It’s really cute, but she doesn’t do it all day long. Please don’t take away the squeak; dogs luuurve it!

I have thought about fostering (but I’m single and 24). I agree with the above posters that a big sisters program would be a great start. My friends who have started families are so wiped out with just one toddler and two parents.

I also can’t believe that Jon and Kate is what’s making you MORE excited about motherhood! That show wigs me out, man. I love kids, but not that much. =)
