If you're calling on the phone it may be a little difficult for the foster parent to "open up." Let her get to know you as well. Make sure she has time to talk, you don't want to get cut short because she has to go. Just ask her the best time to call if it's not conveinant to talk now. Don't get bullied either. We're pretty easy going people, but we've had our fill of ignorance lately and make our needs known..........and I'm not above pressing the issue until I do get an answer.
Good luck!!!!!!!!!
