What time did you get the call?

Here I am waiting for my first call and I was wondering what time of day or night do you guys get calls?

I was thinking about it and for some reason I had in my head that it would be during work hours, then realized that might not be true.

I got the call while I was at work - they called my cell phone and I took the call. My FD has been with us for 14 months and we are on the road to adoption!!! I would guess it would be anytime of the day. The other calls I got were during the day as well for respite

I did a weekend respit for my FDs, then got a call about a month later during the day for placement.

I did, however, receive a call at midnight for a 13 yr old girl about 2 weeks ago, but had to decline because I didn't have room.

I have only got two calls for long term placements and they were both during the day. I thought we'd get calls at weird hours, especially when we got our specialized license a few months ago...nope.

Our calls have been all over the board. We have had some in the middle of the night, some in the evening and many during the day. Some on weekends too.

We got the call for our fs at about 10am and they dropped him off by noon.

The two calls I had to turn down we got between 5 and 8 pm.

The call for our fd came at 3pm and they dropped her off by 5pm.

I got the call at 7:30 am on Monday morning. When that phone rang, I knew what it was before I could see the caller ID. My agency knows they can call 24/7.

So far, I've only gotten calls during working hours-usually late afternoon. I haven't had any evening or weekend calls.

THERE ARE EIGHT DIFFERENT WAYS YOUR CHILD CAN DIE ON A CORDED WINDOW TREATMENT
Read "How Safe Cords Kill" at www.pfwbs.org

THREE CHILDREN HAVE STRANGLED TO DEATH SINCE ANGEL DIED ON 8/11/09.
Brandyn Coppedge died on 9/11/09. Rosie Smith died on 9/30/09 and Thapelo Kwofie died on 11/1/09. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is no longer recommending safety kits. They are now recommending that anywhere children live or visit should be free of corded window products.

We get called mostly during the day... we were called last month at 4 a.m. We got up and started getting everything we needed for the pending arrival of a teeny baby girl. Then, they called at 6 a.m. to say she wasn't coming!
