My Dh and I completed MAPP (adoption) a few years back. I am hoping our Class Certificate should still be good. We were told it lasts 5 years, and it is within that amount of time. We never had our home study for health reasons, and went in another direction. We are considering switching to Fostering.

A few years ago Florida privatized and we were unable to find any of our MAPP contacts.

Can someone in the Orlando area point us in the right direction, regarding who to speak to to find out if our MAPP classes would still be in good standing? If we don't have to, we don't want to go through the 8-10 weeks again, unless we have to in order to switch to Foster? What is the true difference between adoption and foster MAPP classes? I seem to remember it was CPR, but I don't know if that has changed.

Can anyone point us in the direction of an Orlando agency (or any area in Central Florida if that is allowed) that you were happy with? I understand re-unification is the goal, but if that is not at all possible adoption would then be our goal. Which agencies worked well with you, who did their research to find if there was no surprise of "long lost family members"? I feel for the member Cris here that I believe it was.

Any and all input would be appreciated. Thank you!
