It's official!
We just got the word that we are officially licensed foster parents! We are open to birth to 12 months (possibly a little older if it is a sib set with a little one...)

Can't wait for the phone to ring!!

Yes, we are ready. But, since we are limiting the ages we will accept, we are guessing it will be a while before we get a call. We will see though...

This is my first post, and I'd like to start it by saying Congrats to you!

I just finished my homestudy last night (wooohooo) and am waiting on notification on the Foster license and placement from my sw. (she hopes to have my report done and ok'd by her supervisor by the end of this month)

I'm still finding my way around this forum, but am so very happy for everyone who is travelling this road of Foster care and adoption.

Welcome Robin. You will find this a great place for advice and venting and giving congrats.

Let us all know when your license comes through.

We said birth to 12 months. But, we would probably say yes as long as the child was younger than Cameron... Especially if it was a baby and a 1 or 2 year old sib!!! We are approved for 2 kids.
