Foster/Foster Adopt in Illinois

For all those Illinois Foster parents! We are newbie's almost licensed, taking PRIDE classes. How has your experience been with the state? Are there any support groups that meet once a month to meet other foster parents? This is a great forum, but even better to chat with other foster parents from my own state!

thanks!

We're also in Illinois!! We're in central IL. I don't know of any support groups in our area as of yet, but hoping that i'll find one soon...or maybe work on starting one myself!

We're working with an agency here in our city, and so far, have been very happy with them.

Newly licensed

Hi,

I am in Springfield and was just licensed August 6th. I am working with a private agancy and would love to talk to others in this area about their experiences. My agency said they were working on a support group but I don't know when that might take place.

Shelly
