They will look to make sure you have at least one working bathroom, you have space for foster kids, that your house meets safety requirements. They didn't inspect my house for dust bunnies or perfectness. They will talk to your children about what they think about your home becoming a foster home, if they want to do this, the type of kids, are they willing to share their toys, etc. They'll talk to you about the type of children you will be willing to take for placements, why you are doing this, do you have a support network, how will you handle day care or working, etc. Just remember they are there b/c they want to approve you... just be honest and answer their questions to the best of your ability (and that applies to your children as well).

Good luck and keep us posted on how it goes!
