Here are a couple things I am wondering. We are in the process of attending our classes and some of this may be covered, but I am curious!

1. The paperwork says each child must have their own bed. Does a pack and play count as a bed for an infant? We have one extra crib but are hoping to get approved for 2. We are only open to birth- 12 months. Would we need 2 cribs if we were open to 2?

2. What about baby-sitters? I am a SAHM, so we won't use daycare. But we belong to a small group at our church that meets every other Wednesday. We have a couple different people that watch the boys for us, but they are not licensed in any way. Can we leave foster kids with someone unlicensed? I have heard of respite, but don't know much about it. Would we use respite?

3. Kind of similar to the above: can we leave foster kids in the church nursery? Ours has a great program and all volunteers have to have background checks done. We would be in the same building, just not the same room. They have a system where they page parents if needed. Would we be able to leave a foster kid there during service?

I am excited and nervous about starting all this and a million questions keep running through my head. I am sure some, if not all, of this will be covered yet in the classes, but I wanted to ask anyway!

Thanks!
