Re: Should I have a baby?

You could try out being a "visiting home"* if you have that in your country? The children range from age 0-18 and you can always request a specific age group.

There is also (again depending on country) a system in place where children who are going to be adopted away stay in a home for 3 months to make sure the parents of the child don't change their minds.

And as I always tell people who want children, but not necessarily biologically theirs: :foster kids always need homes, and they are just children and just need an extra set of parents they can live with.

*Part of the Foster Care system, but not foster parents, it is a home where children can visit about one weekend every month or so who need it for various reasons, among those: Parents who have troubles, foster children without family, children who are in a difficult situation and such.

...how obvious is it that I grew up in the foster care system?...

Thank you for bringing up the "visiting home" idea - I've never heard of that. Did you grow up in the US foster care system? Can I ask which state? I'm not sure if the whole visiting home thing varies state to state.

You are welcome, my pet project is to create as many homes for foster children as I can. Sorry, I am Norwegian, so can't help you with the US, but I am sure if you make a phone call to your local CPS* office they will be happy to give you any information you might need.
