What I have learned my years of foster parents is expect the unexpected. One time I got 2 little girls. They found them at 10pm with their mother. The mother was soo drunk she kept dropping the baby. She was sooo drunk she couldnt even speak. We did not know the names of the girls. All night and most morning we just called them honey and sweetheart. The next day afternoon they gaves us the names of the girls.
With visit I usually tell the sw what my schedule is and let her know that it can not be changed. So she and the parents need to work with my schedule which is very flexible exept for one day. Im alway honest, but respectful with the sw. I tell them that I need some info so I could help out the child. I go through an agency and if sw will not give me info the agency gets it for us and after that the sw is pretty open with us.
