More pics coming soon...
We finished our second-to-last foster class tonight! It was a doozy...Documention and Paperwork. It's hard to believe there's an entire class devoted to teaching us how to keep track of all of the paperwork, but there is! It's pretty serious, too. Kinda wish I'd been more awake. I'm pretty sure I remember about 30% of what she said. Most of it boils down to these three things:
1. No matter what your question is, the answer is, "It depends."
2. No matter the situation, do the following - in this order: call the agency, email the agency, document the incident in the daily foster notes, then call the agency one more time just to make SURE they know that we are keeping them informed. :)
3. Document EVERYTHING. Yes, seriously, everything. Child took medicine? Document. Child refused medicine? Document. Bought child a new sweater? Document.
It seems like you're flying through the classes (probably not to you guys though). Before you know it, you're going to be blessing a child with your love! Do you really have to document if you buy the child something? Sounds like you're going to need a pretty big notebook for all the notes you have to take. Looking forward to meeting your special someone! Love your hearts for children, family & people in general but most importantly your love for the Lord. Love you both! Mom
