Wednesday, April 22, 2015. The Financial Side of Adoption. I found that researching all the different methods was the most important step that I made. As I searched through the possibilities, I was able to pick and choose what would work best for me and my husband. I recommend talking to others about their adoption experience too. Don’t be afraid to be brave and try some of the more creative methods of fundraising too! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Suzy (my extra) 20.

Foster Parents Anywhere?: November 2013
http://fosterparentsanywhere.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 25, 2013. Home Inspection for a Foster Care License. A garage, or a shed. Who would use a shed as a bedroom in this world? Apparently someone did because now there is a rule in the rule book for it. What is the social worker really looking for during the home inspection? Friday, November 8, 2013. Honesty Comes with a Price Tag. The birth parents had used a fake name when dealing with child protective services. Thankfully, the child doesn't remember that little mix up! Called us into his ...

Foster Parents Anywhere?: January 2014
http://fosterparentsanywhere.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 30, 2014. Aging Out of the Foster Care System. Wednesday, January 8, 2014. Foster Care and Finances. All is well at my house. Christmas was pretty good, New Year Eve was peaceful and the kids have had three snow days in a row. That means that I don't have to do my crossing guard job in the polar freeze that is happening in Michigan right now. (Yeah me! I want other families to be able to welcome a foster child into their home and not have to worry about the financial strain . I hope...

http://fosterparentsanywhere.blogspot.com/2014/10/adopting-outside-of-birth-order.html
Monday, October 27, 2014. Adopting Outside of Birth Order. Plan on a child of any age having some sort of affect on the children already in the home. This is a life changing event for all family members. A parent should be on the lookout for signs of stress, acting out or difficulty in school in both the new child and children already in the home.

Wednesday, March 26, 2014. Is the Foster Care/Adoption Sytem Broken? The phrase "child trafficking" implies that the system is removing children from the home to make money by selling them for adoption. Really! If this thought crosses your mind, please refer to the list of known child abuses listed above. I would also like to inject a quick note here about international adoption. Have you seen the pictures of orphanages in other countries? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a mother to five wonderful child...

Foster Parents Anywhere?: December 2013
http://fosterparentsanywhere.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 18, 2013. I have been learning to juggle lately is ways that I never have before. As a mom to five children and a few extra, juggling is second nature to me. I thought that I had the process down to a science. I know how to mix volunteering at school, working at my church, managing family events and how to handle Christmas. It hasn't always been pretty but I have think I have managed pretty well. However, today all my balls in the air came tumbling down and hit me in the head. So befo...

Foster Parents Anywhere?: September 2014
http://fosterparentsanywhere.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 22, 2014. Multiple Foster Homes or Disrupted Placements. We have all heard the stories from former foster youth who grew up in the system. Their stories often share the same common problem of growing up in multiple foster homes. More than two homes is bad in my book but there are stories of children who are moved five or more times during childhood and finally just aged out of the system. What causes a caseworker to move a child so many times? No one knows, but we do the best that we ca...
