I see that you are in TN as well as myself. I recently attended a meeting at Dcs about this very matter. We were informed of several things.
1. monthly stipend will increase by 3 dollars to 6 dollars.
2. that we have the right to call a meeting about our children. we dont have to wait for say the 12 month meeting.
3. We are required to have cw's beeper, cell, and home #'s, as well as their supervisors. they gave everyone there all the #'s they needed right then and there. Unbelieveable
4. The state will be paying for all it's foster adoptions. (all) the caseworkers won't be able to tell you much. once tpr happens, the file goes to the adoption center. that's where you'll get all the info that you need. they will also give you a list of lawyers to choose from. [they pay]
5 they are also talking about giving monthly allotments for the child/ ren after adoption as an incentive for more people to adopt. Not sure if they've made a definite decision yet. If you are in the FC association call someone from there. they can give you a ton of info.
hope this helps
