28F, single, full-time employment. I live in a rural neighborhood, small town. Started foster care journey and meeting other prospective parents in classes. Does anyone else not feel like they fit in as a single foster parent? A lot of answers for single foster parents in my classes have been, “call your own parents!” when given a tough situation. My parents are deceased and my siblings live farther away. I have my small knit community and feel like my classes are so out of touch with the reality of being a single person who works…

Any advice besides “call your own mom if you need an extra hour to sleep or a break.” 🙃🥲??
