WANTED: Information on Foster Care License

Happy Labor Day!

We hope that you are enjoying your “last weekend of summer”.  Here in Texas, we are finally getting cooler temperatures.  Cooler actually is less than 100 degrees.

Last night, I actually sat on the front porch, enjoying the breeze, and began reading a wonderfully written best-selling novel about a couple’s journey through infertility and adoption. On September 22nd, I am joining the SITS Girls Book Club and the author for an online discussion. Will you join me???

Now, onto this month’s Foster Focus on getting a foster care license.

A few months ago, I detailed our journey to become a licensed foster home that included travel to 3 towns and over 1,800 miles of driving.

During that 4 post series, there were a lot of comments discussing the similarities and differences on becoming a licensed foster home.  State vs. Private agency, PRIDE vs. MAPP, etc.

This month, Foster2Forever would like to compile all those different requirements into a large list post to share on Thursday, September 29th as a resource for all of our foster care readers everywhere. (maybe in a blog hop format for everyone to share on their blogs?)

Have you already written about your licensing journey? Then share the link below in the comments!

If not, get writing! Then, send the link to your blog post through our CONTACT page.

If you wrote a series of posts, as I did, then you can send the link to the first post and link it to subsequent posts, OR write a post listing each of the posts.

If you feel comfortable, please share what state (or country) you are in and whether you are licensed through the State or through a private agency.

I am so excited!!!  Will you join in???

Overcoming the Past {Blog Hop}

During April, National Child Abuse Prevention month, Foster2Forever has been hosting a link-up on topics in regard to the abused and neglected children that we, as foster parents, bring into our home.

Last week’s topic of dealing with the challenges of raising our foster children had some great tools on how to deal with those explosive behaviors! You must read all of them!

Our featured blogger is Kerrie of Good Moms Are a Lot of Things! Her creativeness in helping her daughter with RAD do her homework correctly floored me. Wow! I would’ve never thought of that.

And a special thanks to Dannie and Quackenbaby who linked up last week!

This week’s topic is Overcoming the Past! This is a topic I’m so looking forward to! I’m dying to hear of those success stories! Do you have one? Go ahead and add it!

Foster2Forever will feature one blogger next week as we kick off National Foster Care Month!

Next month, Foster2Forever will host a month-long blog hop! Does anyone want to co-host?

What topics would you want to write about? Why foster care. Making a Difference. How foster care changed you. How to become a licensed foster home in (your state).  What anyone can do to help foster families.

Let us know in the comments!
