I am a foster care provider. About 14 years ago, my wife and I wanted to see how it works. We started by going to classes for about 8 weeks for training. Once training was over, they match you up with a certain amount of children that your home can accommodate. Then you start the process of caring for the children as if they were your own. If and when they are not able to get back to their original parents, then they will ask you if you want to adopt them. Well, we did 3 total children. I can tell you that it was only the second-best thing I ever did in my life, the first was to marry my wife. So now I have 3 children, 2 girls and 1 boy also known as 2 daughters and 1 son.
