I think to become a host family, but have been warned because of complaints of possible abuse. Any Sugg? I am also a single mother, so the idea of being accused of abuse is a bit scary. Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Why would you be accused of abuse unless you abuse it? If you are worried about the child and affirming that it is enough to know that the agency is aware of the problems Childs and it should not be a problem. Besides, you have character references who will defend your parents.
Do you have near you that can control a lot of early child lives with you? I would. If you feel you want to help a child who is the main thing. Many of these children have learned to be very depressed and anxious. I think if you can be open to love any questions they may have the child will open up to you and love you back. After all, is not that what we all really want the bottom-of-being loved. You can be the beacon of light to a child. And insofar as the claims of abuse, I strongly believe that the truth always comes out and if your hands are clean do not worry ........ and the testimony will help your case along. But even if a child is in this spirit to do (just accuse an innocent person) I think once they are loved and can love you back they no longer feel that way. I mean your house has to be better than returning to the orphanage or to jump from house to house with many foreigners. Love is the key here. If you can love them I say go for it.
My husband and I dream of a day care for children when we have time to care for a child.
Talk with a social worker before promoting the child and set up your concerns. If they do a complete background check on you and you may then do not be afraid to make a child-friendly justice, giving a child a loving home.
The child has a case manager working with you and you'll get a lot of training before you promote. If you are unwell then do not. But if there is something in your heart, then give a child a much needed home.
If you've been accused so you can pass a polygraph test, and know the child's background before bringing them into your house so you know what to expect.
We are eager to help abused and neglected children, if we want to do is help these children. Many people want children without problems, unfortunately, is why they are in foster care is to start with the problems. We want a child to age 6, a minority, because they seem to be those who have more space because some families do not want certain ethnic.
Do what is in your heart to do, pray about it is that fear the Lord and speak with the social worker and other foster parents. Make your homeowrk but do not let fear deter you from your God's gift of light to give love to a child who needs it.
