It Is Official

Moments ago in searching for something else, I realized that I am officially a Licensed Foster Parent (here) .  Effective 9/14/2010, two months after my homestudy was submitted, I am licensed.

As a side note, I was able to confirm that in fact private agencies take precedence.  Fourteen years ago, when I entered the field of Foster Care there were looming threats of privatization.  Those threats continue today.  So in a way, my time frame of being licensed was a comparison of state vs. privatization as two separate reports were submitted on the exact same day and the private agency won. 

Sometimes confirmation isn't bitter sweet.

Here is to the next "chapter" of my life. =)
