Thank you for the info. I sent you a pm.
I'm definitely planning on taking the classes and I have been for ages, even before these children were a possibility for me. My concern was that they're asking my aunt, the birthmom if someone will be able to come for them when they're born. That's in Feb and I was worried that the children would have to go to another foster family while I took the classes.
