Wow Sonya, that does not sound fun! No chance of them over lapping at all?
We have visits currently done w/ home based services. I'm sure if I pushed it, transportation could be provided, but I personally don't like sending the kids off w/ someone I don't know.
I have mixed feelings on the whole thing. For awhile, my FD hated visits, and it was VERY traumatic for her. I always felt like I was the bad guy b/c I took here there, I made her go there, etc. However, I liked knowing as soon as she was done, I was there, which made her much happier. Now they aren't as traumatic for her, but I still think she is relieved when she sees me.
We never had visits w/ our older sib group, and she didn't have visits the first 8 months so for the first year and a half of fostering, we got really spoiled w/ no visits.
I've heard that the private agencies are more likely to provide transportation, or at least reimburse, but with the county, that is just part of the 'job'.
