Question

i love kids and i'm not able to have any of my own and i have plenty of space.

Answer 1

Depends on your state laws you'll have to check it out.

Answer 2

Possibly but it is very hard so you may want to wait until you have a spouse. It makes it hard to meet someone if you have tons of kids at home. The state tells you how many kids you can take in, i don't think you can choose whether you take in one or two kids, they may give you more than you expect. You have to contact family services/ your state to get information about becoming a foster parent. Read all the info the state gives you before deciding. Discuss this with family, friends, your BF/GF.

Answer 3

i can speak for the UK (not knowing where you are)

subject to appropriate checks and completing training courses i cant see why being single to be a barrier to you being able to foster.

it would have a bearing on what type of child(ren) you will be sent tho

being single you are probably less likely to get sibling groups - and being a younger female you would be less likely to be sent older children especially teenage boys to be looked after.

From my own research into it you are generally 'ok'd' for a particular profile (say age 4-9 years or whatever) and get sent children that are close to that profile

I wish you well - I do admire people who are ready and willing to open their home and their hearts to young people who need support at a down time in their lives

Yes it is possible. Some private agencies have different rules, but generally you have to be over 21, and have a spare bedroom for the child. I think they'll even pay for day care if you're working. Good luck!
