Officially, officially! All the paper work is in. All the pre-foster care home visits are done. The interviews are complete. The papers are signed. My licensing specialist is completing my home study this weekend. Not sure how long it will take to get a placement. My age group was changed to accept 1 or 2 children from ages 4 through 14. Which means I can either receive a sibling group or two children from different families in that age range.
I am very excited to be done with the entire process! It really wasn't too bad, when you think about the immense responsibility that being a foster parent involves. I'm anxious to just get started. I want to plan things for April - May, but want to wait to see how things look and who is placed in my home. There will be challenges, yes. There will be things I'm not prepared for, yes. But the overall thing I'm focused on is helping these children and assisting in finding permanency for them. It will be an interesting journey. I'm just ready to get the ball rolling!
