When it comes time to buy furniture, don't forget about CRAIGSLIST. I was able to get a beautiful sleigh crib that retailed for over a $1000.00 for only a hundred dollars- and it was in perfect condition. Every once in a while, you can find a real gem in the listings. Also, Foster Babies are usually enrolled in WIC. WIC is a government program that pays for formula & food for babies and young children from poorer familes- Foster children are automatically eligible regardless of the foster parents' financial situation. Call your local WIC office (it's in the same section of the phone book as the Dept of Human Resources and Foster Care listings) and set up an appointment when you bring your new child home. My foster to adopt baby was allowed 6 cans of formula per month thru WIC-(but she was a little piglet and drank about 9 cans). Having WIC pay for most of the formula was a huge help.

THERE ARE EIGHT DIFFERENT WAYS YOUR CHILD CAN DIE ON A CORDED WINDOW TREATMENT
Read "How Safe Cords Kill" at www.pfwbs.org

THREE CHILDREN HAVE STRANGLED TO DEATH SINCE ANGEL DIED ON 8/11/09.
Brandyn Coppedge died on 9/11/09. Rosie Smith died on 9/30/09 and Thapelo Kwofie died on 11/1/09. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is no longer recommending safety kits. They are now recommending that anywhere children live or visit should be free of corded window products.
