We were approved for our Foster Care License on Tuesday, June 19th! Our first placement was for respite care. Respite care is when a licensed foster parent watches the foster children of another foster parent for an extended period of time. In our case, we watched a four year old girl and two year old boy over the weekend, so the foster parents could go out of town.
It went great, but was definitely a lot of work. I'm beginning to really understand the term "strong willed child". It was a learning process, but in the end the kids had fun and were clean & fed when they went home Sunday afternoon. We even took them to church and they did well in their Sunday School classes. We're still waiting for a call to receive our first long term placement. It could be today or a month from now. Let the adventure begin!
