[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, thanks. I have three months of paid leave but would only take 6 weeks and save the rest for appointments. I am AA and dc is multi-racial, so I am totally cool with adopting someone who looks like me. The daycare part scares me a bit since quality care is hard to get in DC. My job sponsers a center, so once I get certified, I might talk to the director. My dc is at another Federal center so I would get sibling preference there. How much is the daycare subsidy? My center is about 1400 a month. I want to save as much as I can because I will supplement the therapy from infants and toddlers with a private therapist too. I have to check to see if my insurance covers foster kids, I have a great holistic pediatrician and I want to use her again. [/quote]
Find another place. Subsidy for day care is a lot less than $1400K a month[/quote]

Subsidy only covers certain centers.

If you live in MD and choose a MD center, but have a DC child, then DC will reimburse you for a portion of the cost of childcare equal to the amount of the subsidy, but if you choose to use childcare in DC you can only use a center or childcare provider who takes subsidy.

There are some good centers that take subsidy in DC, but they often have very long waiting lists.  If you're even considering doing this, I'd get on those waiting lists now.[/quote]
