I got my letter yesterday . I've been calling our agency to see if they can give me any info on how this will effect the fs we have right now. So far......only answering machines and no calls back.

We also adopted 2 sibs from foster care last March...we're wondering if these cuts will effect the subs. or worse yet...the therepy that ds has to take.

I'm a working mom and with these possible cuts i'm not sure whats going to happen. If I do continue to work...it might mean we'll have to give up fostering

Does anyone know when this is all suppose to take effect???...or is it still all up in the air?????

Like we as foster parents don't have enough STRESS...now THIS???

Such a shame for EVERYONE...but esp. the kids.
