My husband and I are thinking about being foster parents. We have no children right now, though we do plan to in the next few years.

My question is was there anything that the families you stayed with did that was particularly helpful (or anything they did that was detrimental)?

In other words, what could we do to help ease the transition and be a bright and safe place for a child in such negative circumstances?

Where did you grow up?

I don't have much interesting to add or any questions but I just wanted to say thanks for spreading the information and awareness! My my mom is a paraplegic and I myself am a partial paraplegic so I have a great personal interest in this technology. I would love to be able to see my mom walk again in her lifetime, and of course I'll take all the help I can get as well! It's amazing research with TONS of potential in my opinion.

On a side note, my mom was a paralympic athlete as well, she was on the Canadian's women wheelchair basketball team for many years and won gold at the 1996 Atlanta paralympics. Considering the lack of coverage of the paralympics (at least compared to the olympics), I always love seeing them mentioned!
