I updated in the tab section but have decided that we are not the right home for "Z". There were some things that came out about his interactions with lower functioning children that just will not fit in with the type of children that hubby and I are interested in fostering, or adopting, if everything goes through with "I" as we hope it will, they would just not be a good fit together.
We also are just not really equipped to deal with tough behaviors with autistic children. Once they said he needs a calm environment I knew we were not the home for him. But I read through everything, researched everything, but it all came out to we are just not a good fit. I think he needs a stay at home MOM and to be an only child.
The nurse kept saying he had "meltdowns" that lasted hours and sometimes days. I just can't deal with that, and I know hubby can't either. We learned that the hard way with the first placement.
Totally understandable.
