hi we are brand new foster parents in the white county area. i called and said we were ready to open our home at 9:00 am and by 6:30 that night we had our frist foster children!!! I never new they were that fast. i have a question though how often do children usually remain in a placement. our foster children already have visitations with the ** and has requested phone contact. the case worker said that was fine. i am not sure. the father and several uncles have touched these children and mom hide him out for a long time. we have children of our own and don't want them to know where we live any ideas for a new foster parent is welcome anything from what to do about parents and do you all treat your foster children like your own and what do you do if your children get jealous of the foster children and foster children get jealous of yours.
thanks jean b
