Online dating or fostering children?!

Good for you Sandy! Put your toe in all of the waters! You will know what is best for you, and it is wonderful that you are beginning your life as a divorced woman! It can be very exciting to start over, especially when you have life experience and wisdom!

Follow your instincts!

I'm afraid that I agree with Janet. Take some time for yourself to recouperate from your divorce and being single again.......THEN make a decision about this. Take some time first to just become used to the life you have now.....which I'm sure is so different from what you had....before you decide to make such a life changing decision. Good luck!!!

I have never foster kids but I think thats a great idea.

I have done the on-line dating before. And I absolutely love it. I do not go there looking for love just friendship. Someone who will take you out to have dinner, movies talk and laugh. Get as many dinner dates as you can.

I am very careful and only chat with them on the website. I do not give out my number or e-mail. I meet them at the location and that's it. Most men just want company for a bit. I am very upfront about telling them not to get their hopes up.

I went to the informations meeting this evening, praying that I would find something to turn me off about foster/adopting, but I feel stronger about it now. Of course, I can't do anything until I'm divorced and have a bigger place, so that'll probably be after the first of the year.

Good to get all the info you can and get all your questions answered. It's also good that it won't be right away....you'll still have time to yourself.

As long as it suits you, fostering children can be wonderful! If it never happens, going to the meetings sounds great for info, and as a way to meet really good hearted new friends!

I've decided that I'm going through the training to get certified. If I can help one child ... It will be worth it. If i meet a man for companionship that will be a plus, but the child will be my priority. Thanks for your support on my new journey.
