Could we add our states and agency type to our sigs?

I often wonder when reading someone's experience if they are with a state or private agency and where they're located. For those of you fostering already, I know I'd love to see where you're from - maybe eventually I'll have everyone's locations straight but for now as a newbie it would be very helpful to see it in your sig!

Thoughts from others?

State and agency

I am in Ohio. When we fostered we went through a private agency and then changed to county. Closed our license when we adopted.
