My husband and I are just starting the application process to become foster parents. We're figuring on strictly fostering first, but may decide to go foster-adopt later.

We are very interested in keeping in touch with some local foster parents. Maybe some of you more experienced fp's can give us some great starter tips!

One thing I was wondering.. is there a store nearby, similar to unclaimed freight, where we could get bunk beds or other furniture we might need for this, at a low cost? We are on a fixed income now, and we really want to help some children in need, but don't want to go much further into debt by purchasing all the furniture and other supplies.
