As far as getting ready. They mean it!!!! We got a Foster parent agreement in the mail to sign and have notarized.....Two days later we had daughter!
So, "Let the games begin!!!" For us dfcs is holding off with anymore placements because daughter requires so much attention. Thank god for small favors.. I'd love to have a house full, but for now we have a handful!
Lot's of activities and continuity now...................and speaking of activities.......We're going to Six Flags on saturday (see you there gt?) and, of course, gotta have the respective baber kittens along too! I gotta say I really don't mind too much because their parents actually wanted to meet us and talk about rules of conduct!!!!!! I was sooooooo excited I couoldn't hardly contain myself! You know how rare that is when kids are teenagers!!! My wife got such a kick out of boy babers grandma! "I told that boy that he better not have any doubt what NO means, and there is going to be NO sex. He's too darn young (he's 17) to be foolin around with that, when he's finally ready I'll let him know and buy him the condoms!!!! " She was a jewel! At least the parents are on the same page! I told grandma that I was going to have a talk with babers about how I expect him to act around daughter and she gave me the "go for it!" More of a precautionary measure, he already gets a lot of reinforcement at home. I know this may all souund so silly, but we have met so few (teenage) kid's parent's who were genuinely concerned about the conduct of their children...and knew what was really going on out there....wow!
