I did not know respite care was a thing. I want to foster but I think I’m going to start with respite. Thank you for this!

That's a good point. Doing respite is a good way to dip your toes and see if it's something you want to do for a long term placement. while my wife and I did foster immediately, we ended up taking a few short term placements and respite before actually taking a long term placement.

Ps.s we should be adopting in a couple months!

Good luck!
