Franklin County
I'm in Franklin County. I was licensed April 2005 and got my first placement July 2005. I've had three placements (3 months, 10 months, 4 months, and the middle one returned and is staying
 ) and then some respite. I'm a pretty quiet person, single, was going to foster only vs. foster/adopt and only room for two children. I said ages 2-10. I don't get a lot of calls, but what I've found that is once I got to know a few social workers and other foster parents, they'll start calling or thinking of me and referring social workers to call me. So go to any group events, get to know people, etc. I hope you enjoy fostering as much as I have. jan

We have two new placements! They're a distant (second cousin) family placement...newborn girl and her two year old brother , mom and dad are both incarcerated and have expressed interest in signing away parental rights. So, keep us in your prayers!
