I find it amazing that after some of your experiences, you still say, “Be a foster parent.” As a mom of 3 (1 bio-, 2 step-), only 1 still at home, I know a lot about being a parent in Canada. There is not only a stigma about being a foster child, but there is also stigma associated with being a foster-parent. There’s a stereotype that they all just care about the money and abuse the kids.
I guess I don’t have a good question for you; maybe, What do you think can be done to attract more good parents to the world of fostering?
