I had a patient yesterday who was removed from his mother's care, due to neglect. Mom is now in jail, and grandma is only allowed supervised visist. He's going to go into foster care.
I said to my husband last night, "Maybe we could foster him," kind of half joking, half serious. I expected to be shot down immediately, but he said, "If you want to, go ahead."
So I'm going to contact his CPS worker later today and see what I need to do to become a foster parent.
Have any of you all ever ended up fostering a patient? how did it work out?
