After some (not a lot) discussion, we have determined that we are going to take a break for a while from the fostercare scene. After Leonard and Penny leave for good, mid-May, we are going to possibly take respite calls until the beginning of July... if there are any to be taken. After the first of July, we'll be taking an extended break until the beginning of October or so. We fully intend on keeping up our license/training and taking a school age placement in the fall.
For now, we have way too much to do to get ready for the little one in July and we are going to take a couple of months (minus any random respite time) to just enjoy getting ready and things of that nature. My guess is that, at least for a little while, this blog will take more of a turn towards all things baby and will steer away from the foster talk. We have a lot to do and a little time, all things considered, but we're super excited to get working on it.
Today, I was wondering the same thing...are you going to continue once the baby arrives? Then I read this. I must be on the same wavelength as you. :) We started foster care in Sept, when we agreed to do respite for Labor day weekend. As their foster dad was dropping them off, he said he wasn't coming back and that they were done with foster care. Talk about sink or swim. Here it is 7 months later, and we still have them.
