Question about respite care
Sorry if this question has been asked before but I've not been on the boards for awhile.
My husband and I are hoping to adopt a girl from our county and will be doing respite for her current foster parents. We have never done respite before and in fact have only had one child in our home that ended being a failed adoption. Has anyone ever been in this situation before? I'm just not sure what to expect and was hoping you guys could shed some light on this.
The workers are hoping that this will help us all get to know each other and we can observe (if that's the word I want to use) her without commitments. I hope that makes sense. They're hoping that this way we can see the real her (is that what I want to say?). As you can see I'm a little nervous about this but I'm hoping everything will turn out the way I want it to.
Thanks for listening!
Chris
