Hi
I wish the foster parents in Guatemala had to take some sort of classes in infant/child nutrition, basic first aid, child development, CPR etc...I think they should have to be certified in some way...I am sure there are very good foster mothers,,but our experience was that our daughter was not fed properly, her diaper rash not treated, was overdosed on Motrin (she was given double the dose for her weight) and seemed to be left in the crib with bottle after bottle...we have had many issues to deal with since she has been home and at times I feel she would have been better off in a small, well run hogar...just my opinion....
