Are there any reasons I should not allow the foster child to play with my sons toys? (Planning to foster when he is at his dad's, at least initially.)
i cannot see why a child should not be allowed to use your child's toys unless he has a very special toy or book and then i would just put it out of sight before the foster child/ren get to your house.
Are there any products I should keep on hand for african american hair care?
hopefully the children's foster parent would provide any special products their fchild might need. due to (aa) kids dry skin and hair, you probably won't have to wash thier hair if you only have them for 2 days. i would just keep some j & j baby wash and ivory soap on hand because (at least in my experience), have been not to drying on skin. also, keep really good lotion for skin on hand. i use an off brand of eucerin.
Should I schedule thier time or not worry too much about it. (They won't know anyone in the neighborhood.)
i would not schedule too much, those 24-48 hours will go very quickly, but do things that can be done last minute, the zoo, the park, a movie ect.
And, to be politically correct, is it more appropriate to use 'black' or 'african American'?
some one else will have to answer this, i used to use aa but recently i have been using brown or black. with the child/ren you won't have to use terminology, just kids. they will give you cues as to what they prefer.
