Lots of emphasis on the HEARTACHE (we’ve had a total of 26 foster children in our home over the past 4 years) Pj Insane Mom to J, J, N, L, B, H, N, N, N, B, B, K, K, T, S, R ages 29y – 14mo (but only 10+ kids at home now) — On Tue, 7/29/08, Suzi McMullen <smcmullen@kc.rr.com> wrote: From: Suzi McMullen <smcmullen@kc.rr.com> Subject: Re: Budget101.com : I got news To: Budget101_@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, July 29, 2008, 7:15 PM Yeah, but it’s anything BUT a windfall.

I was in the process of becoming a foster parent when I found out I was pregnant. The original email which started this conversation, and additional emails which followed by the OP, spoke on how having foster children would help her budget. I get that you will be given $ to help with the costs of accepting another child in your household. I don’t believe that anyone who commented was talking about that. We were talkinga financially. Almost like a windfall. On Sat, Jul 26, 2008 at 5:02 PM, Suzi McMullen <smcmullen@kc. rr.com> wrote: > I understand how you feel.
