[quote=Anonymous]Go to a FAPAC meeting. It’s basically a support group for foster parents and you can hear what they are dealing with. http://dcfapac.org/index.html That 30 hour training is a joke and you will NOT be prepared with just that training. You need to connect with some IRL foster parents first, read books on trauma, attachment disorder, etc. Just reminding you of logistics- there is no childcare provided for the 30 hours of training. Your continuing ed (15-30 hours per year depending on where you are) does not provide childcare. We have one foster child with no physical health issues and deal with appointments every week. You need a good support network just to make the logistics one new kid work.[/quote]
