We recently ended a long-term placement and told our county DCFS that we want to do emergency only and respite only placements. They said, "Great!"

We got an 8mo old baby girl on Thursday and will have her til Monday morning. It has been fun AND we know when our next break is coming (something you never know with a regular placement).

It was just as simple and calling and telling them. They flagged it in the computer and we get a call about once every two weeks and we decide if it fits into our plans and limitations.

None- my little one going through terrible twos is also about to have a tonsilectomy. Ugh. If you have stories of success please pass them to me. If you have a horror story, please, I don't think I could handle it right now. LOL

Former foster son came this past weekend for his birthday celebration and one last hoorah before school starts. I was happy to see him doing better.
