Talking Hello...New and have some ???

How long did it take for you to receive your license for foster care??

We finished up classes in March and haven't gotten it yet. I am in Black Hawk county and know that they are slower than other counties.

I am also wondering if I should make a call and find out what's going on. I hate to be pushy in this stage of it, but will if I have to be. Also do they call you or send something in the mail?


Last ? (for now anyway ) We are wanting/willing to take siblings, how does the foster reimbursements work with siblings. I went to the DHS site and it said that the basic rate is 14.28 for 0-5 years old a day. But then states basic plus sibling allowance is 15.28 a day.

Does that mean the I would get 15.28 (458.40) a day for both or 15.28 X 2 (916.80)

I am just curious. Hubby and I were like that 2nd child will eat more that 30.00 worth of food, let alone clothes, shoes, diapers etc. I have no problem with pro-rating it but if it's only 30.00 extra for the 2nd child WOOFDAH.
