I have 3 main concerns about the idea, firstly how it would impact my own sons life as that is not something I would want to create negativity.
Secondly is how to bond with a child knowing that they are not going to be in your life forever.
Thirdly and this is something that makes me sick to the stomach is that because my partner is the career driven one and a female will I as a man be subjected to an element of distrust as a man looking to take over the primary care of yound children.
Any thoughts and insight would be warmly encouraged.

Please believe me whaen I say this is not about money as far as getting rich and buying things.
The financial aspect would simply allow me to try and do some good in the world and also enable me to do more in the community and also take myself away from the nasty world of business.
I appriciate your comments and would love to spend the rest of my life helping those that have not had the good fortune most of us have.

To both above posts I agree that it is a huge undertaking and something I have given thought now for a few years.
I do not think that you end up being fostered without having issues but that is why it is so important that someone does it.
I am not looking for an easy ride but more to try and help those that need it the most and do what I can to help someone have half a chance in life.
I am still unsure that I am strong enough to take on the challenge.
