Thanks for responding. I've been researching the internet (mostly DCFS site) for more info on FFAs (foster family agencies) and I did discover, as you said, the children the agencies get from the County have more needs. I found something on the DCFS site that explained the role of the FFA and why they reimburse at a higher rate. (Although, the County will also reimburse at a higher rate if necessary.) Now I understand why the agency provides so much more help for the foster families. We want an infant, or at least a child from infant to 2 yrs old so I think we'll end up working directly with the County. I'm pretty sure we'll have to take the MAPP class again though. Our last MAPP through the agency is this Wednesday so we'll finish that out. Did you adopt the baby that you got? How long did it take for the baby to be placed in your home once you were certified?
