Hello. I'm also from NY state and wondering what county you are in? My husband and I have gone back and forth about whether or not to seek fostering. We live in Montgomery County and they only offer MAPP classes once each year - and it looks like they will be starting classes this fall. I talked to a really wonderful man at the office who seemed so nice, but he also told me that it takes about a full year to get certified. I know it must be so heartbreaking to have to say goodbye to a child...one of the #1 reasons why my husband is still not convinced we should go for it. Anyway, I'd love to hear any insights you have in particular about our state and how things go. It's great that you got a placement so quickly...and who knows - God may still have permanent plans for you in this little one's life yet! Thanks, Kathy
