AW: orientation!

[gnomesweetgnome]

I mentioned this in the Wine/Whine thread (I think it was that thread...?), but I want to be an AW, so here it is.

DH and I will be attending an orientation for the foster care agency we're interested in on Tuesday!  I'm kind of freaking out a little, but in a nervous/excited way, not scared.

gnomesweetgnome,enjoy! My wife and I set up a meeting (our agency comes to you for classes, etc) just to find out more about fostering last year, and we ended the meeting really excited about it. It was really great to hear more specifically about the process, and to talk to the social worker who is extremely passionate about fostering. I hope your experience is as good!

Thanks for sharing your experience!  We already know we for sure want to foster and a lot of what is involved.  BIL/SIL have been fostering for almost 2 years now, so we've seen the process pretty up close.  But we are definitely interested in meeting some of their staff and hearing from them in person about what they are all about, etc.
