Foster Care.........


So instead of continuing on with proctor care we are switching gears and go to do foster care. We are looking to do foster to adopt. We are wanting to add to our family because we do both feel that our family is not quite complete and this is our best option, not only to add to our family but to also help children in the process.

So to do this we have started the process, which is a lot of paper work and a lot more training. We have all the paperwork done but now this month we did all the training, which was 32 hours worth. That meant 8 classes, four hours for each class, and they were all at night, either in Orem or Murray. I set up the schedule and made a plan so we could get all the classes done in 3 weeks. It was a hard  3 weeks on us and the kids but we did it. First week was 2 classes, the second week just about killed us, 4 classes, which means a lot of time away from home. Finally the third week we took the last 2 classes. We are done with training. We are waiting to do a home study which takes about 3-4 hours of them checking your home for safety and then interviewing your family. So it is definitely a process but we are excited!

More to come!
