My house has never been perfect and never will be. But it worries me that they might think that my house is to messy and take the kids away. Right now I have 4 kids and that is all I want. 2 we are going to be adopting but the other 2 we don't know yet. But all my kids are under the age of 6 and so its hard to have them help out. I can get the 6 year old to help but that is it the others are to little. I live in California and I’m always worried when a social worker comes over to the house.

I am a 57 year old nurse in a rural area and was just laid off this week. I will be filing personal bankruptcy soon. I was never able to become pregnant and my ex-husband had 2 children from a prior marriage and would not even think of fostering. I have a large home on acreage and since my divorce I have been working on my home to finish what my husband and I had started. I am still doing trim work, painting, etc.. Being a nurse is no longer fulfulling for me because I am tired of seeing people getting poor care because the facilities are focused on the mighty dollar. When I was asked by my niece as to what I wanted to do, I immediately said that I wanted to foster children. What kind of chance do I have going through bankruptcy and no job for the last 4 days? I still have a big heart, home and desire to love and comfort. Julia, I want to become a foster parent but I am not sure what the requirements will be here in Arizona.
