I understand this child's previous disruption has to do with his jealousy of a younger child and it being a safety issue - sounds like perhaps a similar situation to yours, AMarylandFamily. That is one reason I am considering taking him in as I have no younger children. I believe every child deserves a home and my place would not be the best place for some kids, and I believe this kid wouldn't work out in many families, no matter how qualified and experienced the parents are... I'm still collecting information and asking questions and have been for a few weeks now... The more I learn (after three phone calls I made yesterday), I've decided to pursue this further... The workers seem happy to have found me - I feel like I may be receiving a sales pitch at times... I hope I make the right decision!! Thanks for the support...

Yes, I guess I should get ready to get called in by the school... great! I have a foster kid that I get calls and e-mails from his school all the time - arg, it makes me look at calling parents differently - there is only so much parents can do sometime and it's so frustrating when I can't be there to talk to him myself.... my other foster kid goes to the school I teach at so I see him in the halls all the time and run into his teachers in the teachers lounge... he can't get away with anything! I think that is funny!!!
