Hi! My name is Joyce and I've been lurking here for a few weeks. I finally made the decision to foster to adopt. I've just had my first home visit and classes start in a little over a week. I'm getting the things I need for my house to pass inspection, carbon monoxide detectors, etc. My question is what other things should I get for a future child since I don't know who I'll get placed with? I'm pretty open on age range but I'd really like an infant or toddler. I have a full bed and a twin bed but no crib. And I'm planning to paint the bedroom that the child(ren) will have. I just don't know what the caseworker will expect by the final visit or what is practical. I don't want to be overlooked for a baby because I have nothing for them but I don't want to spend a lot of money until I know. I'm just trying to be prepared. I would appreciate any opinions/information anyone has.
