Can I Foster a Baby If I'm Single? Should I?? - Weekend Wisdom

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.

Question: I’m a single 38-year-old woman. I’ve always been interested in fostering, but I thought I’d wait until I got married. That doesn’t seem to be on the horizon, and I’m tired of waiting. Is it possible to foster as a single woman? Will it be too hard? I prefer a baby placed with me since I'm new to parenting.
