Thanks guys.
I was impressed by the number of people responding to the radio advertisements for foster parents on minority radio stations. I think my coworker and I were the only two who actually went to a cps informational meeting. I noticed that there were quite a few people over the age of 60. They were actually wanting to foster/adopt teenagers. The coordinators/recruiters who were present were very happy to hear that my coworker and myself were both wanting to open our homes to siblings. They all had big grins on their faces and said they definitely needed us to be certified.
There were two people who in the class who said they were now sure they really to do this. However, one appeared to have OCD and the other appeared to want to supplement her income. There was an elderly fella that I swear is a undercover pedophile. He just seemed so scary, but you know...looks are deceiving.
