Congratulations!

Congratulations! I'm just starting this process (haven't even attended orientation yet) and I already get shivers of excitement just thinking about what the future holds. I can't imagine how excited you must be feeling now that you're so close to finished!

we had a blast tonight! I have my group photo of the class...(i'm such a picture dork, I take pictures of EVERYTHING and everyone) I have my photo with my caseworker who will be doing my homestudy....we all were happy, yet kinda sad because our class has bonded...however, I have all of their addresses and e-mail addresses so I know I'll have very good people to keep in contact with.

found out it may be possible for her to do my homestudy (at least 1st visit) after next week since I'm on spring break from work and that means she can come by any time

how exciting. i LOVED working with Riverside county....most of the people are so on top of it...that it makes being a foster/adoptive parent easier.

very exciting

Congratulations - by now you will be getting ready for your home visit. Very exciting.

About your classes, how long were the classes (weeks and hours per week). We have our interview coming up in a few days and just curious about the process.

Congratulations.
Sylvia
