A little while ago I mentioned that we were gearing up to become foster parents. I thought I'd give a little update on how that's going. So far we have...
killed three forests with the paperwork that we have filled out
completed two online classes about medication
taken a three hour first aid class where the answer to every problem was "Call 911"
completed a thirty hour course on fostering
gotten physicals and passed TB tests
copied paycheck stubs
purchased a lock box and locked all of our medicine in it
installed four new smoke detectors and one carbon monoxide detector
installed three baby gates
purchased first aid kits and put them in our cars
bought a new crib
filed background checks for three different states
and started moving Lila into the guest bedroom.
We still have to...
meet with our social worker
create a detailed floor plan of our house with room and window dimensions
buy a double stroller
place all of our chemicals over 6 feet
and hope that someone eventually looks at our paperwork and approves our initial license.
Fingers crossed we'll be ready before Lila goes to college.
Yay! Check out a Phil & Ted's stroller. We have an explorer and LOVE it. So versatile, small and can be a single or double depending on your current needs.
